Being the suckers for punishment that we are, the day after our mammoth stair-climbing effort at the Sagrada Familia, we decided that it would be a nice day to go for a walk in the park. The guide books all mentioned Park Guell, but didn't seem to say much about it other than it was another spectacle acclaimed to Gaudi. They also neglected to mention that it was at the top of a big hill. (It was hot, no water, stuck in a desert, ready to pass out, hot! -Aaron)

Story goes that this guy, Guell, decided that he would have a park for him and his rich friends to play in, so he talked to one of his mates, Gaudi, who designed it. Gaudi's designs are all a bit different and the combination of his designs in mosaic tiles and large archways and the view from the top of the hill made the climb worthwhile.
