Quote: Park Guell is a masterpiece and a wonderland. Designed by Gaudi, it is full of "gingerbread houses", Grecian temples, and some pretty intense tile work!

Quote: In Barcelona, it is impossible to avoid Gaudí's work as it is everywhere. Indeed, a difficult question for the visitor with limited time is to decide which of these works they should see.
