Gaudi's architectural gems dotted throughout Barcelona are one of the things that make this city so magical!

Having caught a good dose of Gaudi fever, we visited Casa Batllo and La Pedrera, two residential buildings in the centre of Barcelona designed by Gaudi around the end of the 18th century. The rooftop terrace of the aquatic inspired La Pedrera was spectacular with its funky sandstone chimneys and stunning views across the hazy city.

We also visitied Gaudi's Park Guell, famous for its mosaic lizard (Mum - I have posted a pic for you below) and two bizarre houses inspired by the Gingerbread House in the fairytale, Hanzel and Gretel.

We visited Park Guell and spent the remainder of the day lunching by and strolling along Barcelona's heaving beaches with Gemma - a Catalan friend of Nat's who she met when she lived in LA who lives and works in Barcelona. So great to see you again Gemma!
