The trip to Barcelona was in August of 2006, the year that I remember with pleasure for the exams, which Italy won the World Cup and especially because this is my first trip abroad with friends. After browsing the various catalogs Cts (yes, I was not an expert on travel do- yourself "), our choice falls on the Costa Brava . We choose to stay in nice and at the same time lively Lloret de Mar, where an apartment in the center is costing us about 400 euro + 200 euro for 2 weeks about Alitalia.
Our holidays will be based primarily on sea life between sun and relaxation, but the complicity of the proximity to the Catalan capital, we decided to spend two days visiting the city.
The place Barcelona's most famous Las Ramblas is certainly , the avenue is always full of people at any time located between Plaça de Catalunya, the center of the modern city, and the Porto Antico .
stroll down Las Ramblas you can see various interesting buildings like the Palace of Virreina , the colorful Mercado de la Boqueria and the famous Teatro del Liceu , are represented in opera and ballet.
Among the attractions in the Old Port is one of the most important Mediterranean Aquariums. Barcelona is the city where he lived and worked the architect Antoni Gaudí , its work (still unfinished) is the most famous de la Sagrada Familia Church .
His other works that are definitely worth visiting:
- Parc Güell, a kind of Garden City for the construction of which made use of colorful ceramics and pieces glass used as pieces of colored mosaics, along with his sculptures in concrete, which represent a whole world of fantastic animals giving him a real picturesque. Most famous is the salamander (the symbol of alchemy and fire) that is at the bottom of the stairs.
- Casa Mila, better known as the " La Pedrera" building features curved lines and chimneys famossissima with beautiful sculptures and surreal fantasy.
- House Battlò : building characterized by an art nouveau façade and gothic in a way also. Gaudi has used materials such as earthenware fragmented, stained glass of different sizes and shapes, colored glazed pottery and sandstone (almost molded to look like bone).
Do not miss the spectacle of Fountains of Montjuic, the Cathedral and Pavilion by Mies Van der Rohe (built for the Expo in Barcelona in 1929).
