Park Guell is situated at the top of a hill. Actually a very steep hill that I decided to power walk up. Not the best idea, considering my left knee has always been a bit weak since surgery. However, I did feel triumphant when I made it to the top.
I tried to take a picture half way up the hill, but it doesn't depict the very steep reality of the hill. And don't be fooled by the escalators. They weren't working on my journey up. Honest!
In the Park Guell there was a look out point marked with a big white cross. The scenery from there was beautiful in the hazy heat of the morning sun.
I didn't realise how high the Sagrada Famillia loomed over the rest of the buildings in Barcelona. Pretty impressive. I'm sure it is going to look amazing once completed.
The Gaudi architecture in the park was also stunning. Although they reminded me of Gingerbread Houses. I almost feel like they should be edible.
I also love the mosaics he used to decorate the terrace and the exterior of the buildings. So pretty.
And the dragon that marks the entrance to his houses...
