Barcelona, Spain - Gaudi Tour part 2

After La Sagrada Familia we went to Park Guell which also housed many of Gaudi's designs like this snake like bench that also felt amazing to sit on.
These two houses looked like ginger bread houses straight out of the story of Hansel and Gretel. It would have been really interesting to know how Gaudi thought of all this stuff way back then
Another one of his designs.
Since we were in Barcelona on a Sunday we were able to witness live music and dancing after a church service.
The guide told us that if you walk through this door you are supposed to place you hand on the gold hand for good luck.
According to our guide...after Christopher Columbus discovered America, he came back to Spain and climbed these steps to tell people of his discovery.
For lunch we went to a local restaurant and tried some authentic pallea...yummy
View from our balcony...this hotel definitely stuck out from the rest of the scenery
There were lots of sail boats out this day, but I kept taking pictures of these two. Plus the color of the water is just so mesmerizing.
