Park Guell

1/30/2013

 
The day has finally come...a visit to the World-Famous Park Guell. Park Guell is settled in the hill of El Carmel in the Gracia district of Barcelona. It was built by the famously genius Antoni Gaudi in 1900 and was finally finished in 1914. It is no mystery why this Park is internationally famous for it's unique architecture, magnificent views of the city and the mediterranean sea because honestly, it is just that. Breathe-taking and much more.  This Park has become a symbol of that represents this city's unimaginable beauty. When walked up to the Park there is escalators for sidewalks because it is such a steep hike! The little town nestled beneath Park Guell is stunning,  imagine a small, charming european town with busy sidewalks and you will visualize what this area of town beholds.
With Park Guell being such a touristy area, there was no shortage of street performers and vendors for the tourists that just love to reward these characters. Here is a man who was continuously pretending to karate chop me and was convinced he was a true Samurai. Comical.
This walk way was famously used as a catwalk in an episode of "America's Next Top Model". Posh is found even at Park Guell!
We tend to make new amigos every where we go, and Park Guell was no different. Some men from Argentina took a liking to us and decided to have a full on strip tease to Ricky Martin's "She Bang" in front of hundreds of other tourists. No Shame here people. There was a lot of... well just use your imagination.

After feeling more than fulfilled with our day trip to Park Guell, we took our adventurous attitudes and explored a little more around town.
If you ever get the chance to visit Barcelona, this is a must-see!


Until next time.
