Barcelona is justly famous for its architecture. Antoni Gaudí, the famous Catalan architect, lived there for much of his life and his works dot the city. Casa Mila, or La Pedrera, is an apartment building he designed in the Eixample district. Significantly deteriorating in the 1980’s, it has since been restored. The building’s roof is the location of those famous symbols of Barcelona, the beige ventilation towers with a mask-like look to them. The most recognizable symbol of the city is another of Gaudi’s contributions, the Sagrada Familia. Less than a quarter complete when Gaudi died in 1926, it is predicted to be completed in 2026. The design of the basilica is controversial and definitely worth seeing. To avoid the lines that form at the entrances, you can buy a ticket for priority access at ServiCaixa ATMs or online. They also offer a combined ticket with another one of Barcelona’s attractions, the Gaudi House Museum, or Casa Museu Gaudi. Located in Park Guell, yet another of Gaudi’s projects, the building was built as a show house but then put up for sale. No one bought it, so Gaudi and his family moved in. The house is quirky, as one might expect, and has been maintained as it was when the architect and his family lived there.
Barcelona has attractions beyond Gaudi’s architecture, of course. A visit to La Boqueria, an indoor marketplace in Ciutat Vella and accessible from La Rambla, is on the top of many IgoUgo travelers’ lists. Stalls overflow with colorful produce, and visitors have the chance to sample freshly squeezed juice in flavors like coconut, mango, and passion fruit. In the evenings, the Font Màgica is a popular spot for locals and tourists alike. Located between the Placa d'Espanya and the regal National Museum of Art of Catalunya, the fountains line the Avinguda de la Reina to the bottom of the hill called Montjuic.
