Hello! It’s been a few days since I posted, but I’m finally getting around to sorting through my photos and getting things organized. I’m going to make a few smaller posts — one for each day — starting with Sunday July 15.
Sunday we spent a bunch of time wrestling with Air France over Jon’s bag (which, btw, is almost definitely lost at this point, but AF isn’t admitting that yet). So, we didn’t get out until fairly late in the afternoon. In many ways that was fortuitous because by that time the tourists had mostly moved on to other things and we were able to visit Casa Batllo (one of Gaudi’s most famous works) with fewer other tourists than normal.
Casa Batllo was built for the Batllo family on the lower floor (the piano nobile) and then with apartments (2 per floor) on each of the upper 4 floors). The attic features Gaudi’s lovely caternary arches, which you also saw at La Padrera (Casa Milo).
