perfection!

[jeffjen, 14/10/2011] During my recent visit to Barcelona I visited Parc Guell, another place on my 'must visit' list. We visited Parc Guell as part of a city tour by coach and spent a couple of hours there, walking around in the hot sunshine, although I must point out that in order to see the entire park, I would advise that visitor's spend at least a morning or afternoon there! I am a fan of Antoni Gaudi's work, and the Catalan Architect designed Parc Guell after being comissioned by Count Eusebi Guell. Guell was an estate agent entrepreneur, and asked Gaudi to design and create a park with luxury houses for Ba [more]

perfection!

Frommers award three stars indicating that they consider the "whimsical" Parc Güell as exceptional. The author proclaims it to be "one of the most unique man-made landscapes on the planet", stating that it is "abundant with the architect's unique vision" and "for many his favorite and most accessible work." The entrance features "two gingerbread-style gatehouses" which are "topped with chimneys in the shape of wild and toxic mushrooms", reflecting Gaudí's "deep-rooted nationalism and respect for nature". Central to the Park is a "spectacular tiled lizard" and other features include "a sinuous [more]

excellent

Jon Lusk recommends the Park Guell as a place for finding tranquility in Barcelona. It's a tribute to the "wild imagination" of Antoni Gaudi and includes fine examples of his "organic architecture" including a "giant ceramic lizard-fountain", a gallery of "lurching stone columns" and a museum of "eccentric furniture". The park is "guaranteed to refresh" the spirits of a jaded traveller. BA High Life Mag Jan 07 pg 19
