Gaelec's Blog: Barcelona day 5 or Spanish art nouveau

Friday we visited the Palau de la musica. Created by Domènech i Montaner between 1905 and 1908, it rivals Gaudi's architecture. The 50 minute guided tour is simply breathtaking (Lianne was calm the whole time!), especially the sun mosaic. Surprisingly, nothing was being renovated.

After that we went to see the Hospital de la Santa Pau by the same architect and then walked all the way back to the apartment while stopping on the way for a snack and to look at 2 other of Gaudi's masterpieces.

For supper, we bought prepared dishes at the colorful Mercat de Santa Caterina and ate them in the comfort of our Spanish home with a glass of wine.
