park güell

situated on a hill on the outskirts of the city (you have to climb about a billion stairs and steep, steep streets to get there...probably a good thing considering the amount of paella and chorizo you've [i'd] eaten), park güell offers beautiful views of the entire city of barcelona and the mediterranean.  it also has the world's longest bench which gaudí designed by having one of his workmen sit naked in wet clay and which is covered with colorful mosaics in abstract designs.  





i'm kind of obsessed with gaudí's colors. i wish gaudí were still alive and would design a house for me to live in. it would be like living in a fairy tale :)
