Park Guell – one of my favourite things…..
On a recent trip to Barcelona I visited this wonderful Park – an absolute must for anyone visiting the city on a cruise. The park is one of the architect Gaudis most universal artworks, and it is inspired by English style gardens. It is a testimony to Gaudis capacity to find solutions in a rational and creative manner.
If you are planning to do a shore excursion on your cruise holiday, a couple of points to note:You can get there very easily on the metro, getting off at Vallcarca, and returning from Lesseps. Alternatively, you can get a local bus to the main entrance.
You need to be very mobile as there is alot of walking involved here, steep hills and rough ground.
That said, it is well worth the effort. You could easily spend an entire day here in the beautiful surroundings as I did, and the views from the park over Barcelona are fabulous.
The buildings are architechture are facinating, and you can visit the Gaudi Museum here in the park for about 6 Euro. This was Gaudis home for 20 years. Entrance to the park itself is free.
