Park Guel, Barcelona

If I didn’t know that I was in Spain and the great Antonio Gaudi had a hand in this park, I would have thought that I had returned to the USSR. Apparently in the Soviet country there were many fans of the maestro among landscape architects :-). How else can you explain that in every run-down town you can still find a corner of a master in the Gaudi style. The same elaborate, shapeless figures with mosaics. But overall the park was not as big as I imagined. And the main problem is the lack of navigation around the park. Without a guide, let’s face it, you’re spinning in place. An unpleasant surprise for many was that entrance to any zone became paid (until recently it was the zone of “gingerbread houses”), not much 10 euros, but the sediment remained. And another interesting feature is that you can pay for entrance in cash only from the central entrance, from other entrances - only from your phone. But these are trifles, but the number of visitors is off the charts... and this is in Covid times. Not everything is so bad, there are a couple of places that remain in the memory, but so ah-ah..., so no.
