visiting gaudi's parc guell

built during 1900 - 1914

i wish i could live near this park

a serious climb through colourful streets up some stairs and escalators (strange!) to get us to the famous park

guzzling water and snacking on sweet fruit as we walked in the heat through the start of the park

cactus and olive trees everywhere

peeking through the fence to catch glimpses across barcelona

the moment i had hoped for all through spain - to hear some traditional spanish guitar

suddenly wafting through the trees ... 

a man perched on a stone wall playing his guitar

so thrilled to be able to buy his cd

touching the beautiful mosaic walls and peering down at the crowds of people trying to get a photo
with the iconic 'lizard' statue

guitar sounds turned into choral sounds as we came across a group of school aged students on tour singing in an undercovered area

masses of purple and orange boganvillia spilling out over the rocky walls

buying a cool icy treat to have on the walk down back to the train station
