Getting to Know Gaudi in Barcelona, From Park to Palace

'I try to be judicious about which cities I describe as “magical,” but Barcelona deserves the word. While Madrid searches for its place among Europe’s capital cities, and Seville has its rich history, Barcelona has a particular allure I’d not encountered before. Whether it’s an impromptu evening soccer game in an alley deep in the Gothic Quarter, making new friends at a pintxos bar where patrons stand shoulder to shoulder, or thoroughly enjoying the admittedly touristy light-and-water show at the Magic Fountain near the National Palace, Barcelona’s delightful idiosyncrasies and fierce charisma make it an ideal sojourn for any traveler.'>>>
