On our last visit to Barcelona, we went on a mission to Park Güell, which was designed and created by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. It was inspired by the English garden movement and built between 1900 and 1914.

| View from the park: The Sagrada Familia can be seen on the left and our ship is just to the left of the hill in the distance. |
It was quite a distance from the ship, so we used a combination of local buses and trains to get there. The park is on the top of a hill and has a spectacular view in all directions.
As well as being a beautiful and interesting park, with picnics and buskers helping to create a lazy Sunday afternoon vibe, there are some important houses in and around the park, designed by Gaudi also.

I would love to go back and spend a whole day picnicking and relaxing there.
