barcelona

Next stop Barcelona, Spain. The capital of Catalonia, steeped in Mediterranean culture, and dating back to a Roman colony in the second century B.C. Barcelona is really a collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities and whilst having a modern zone there is also a historic Gothic center almost intact.

Some of the most striking architecture is that of Antoni Gaudi's, whose work is admired as being one of the most unique and distinctive styles. The influence by forms of nature is reflected by curved construction stones, twisted iron sculptures, and organic-like forms as well as disttinctive coloured mosaics.

As I have a lot to do, my time to look around will probably be very limited, but I shall attempt to visit Ramblas and Gaudi's house.
