Day 4 – 05.10.05
Another Gaudi day. This time our destination was Parc Guell. I didn’t visit this park 10 year ago, so it was also my first time.
Parc Guell is located a bit far from the old center. It took us a while to get there. From the metro stop, where we had to get out, we had to walk about 1 -1.5 km up the hill. The area right outside the metro stop was apperently turned into a HUGE construction site in order to change the infratructure. This caused a lot of confusion. Due to the lack of signage and the fact that the street was very messy, we went to the wrong direction at first. After a short walk, we realized we needed to turn around. While walking uphill, we saw another face of Barcelona. New/modern apartment blocks, some had banners hanging from their balconies. We wondered if the locals were objecting to the infrastructure around that area. I noticed that the traffic and the noise produced by it were much busier and higher than what I am used to.
Sounds like you are on a wonderful adventure! Sometimes taking a wrong turn can lead you into all kinds of good stuff.
Thanks for sharing.
ik vind die bank zo mooi, die zou ik wel ’s willen zien…
