Gaudi's Gaudy Guell Part Two
This is at the main terrace, a focal point of the park. It is surrounded by a serpentine bench that goes almost around the entire terrace. You can see the towers of the Sagrada Familia in the background. It's the one in the left side.
The bench is decorated with mosaic tiles on both sides.
I see some gargoyles.
If you love tile mosaic, baby, this is your paradise.
Love the brown hues.
Can you see the bumps? Gaudi designed them to easily keep water out of the bench when it rains.

Those mozaic tiles are magnificent!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful, fun place to visit!
ReplyDeleteMade me wonder if there are tiles mosaic here. Interesting.
ReplyDeleteThat serpentine bench is one of the things I most remember about this park, Maria. But I also remember seeing La Sagrada Familia off in the distance. I turn my head to the left right now and see a beautiful etching of Sagrada on our apartment wall. Now you know how much I really do love Barcelona and GaudÃ!
