Be sure to spend time to take in the wonderful architectural marvels of the Catalan architect and Modernist, Antoni Gaudi. The Sagrada Familia, Park Guell, Casa Mila, and others in Barcelona are stunning to behold. Gaudi was a sort of "organic" modernist, for lack of a better term. Lots of waves and undulating forms. I can spend hours looking at them and never be bored.

Cheers,

Bill

I spent about three minutes looking at that stuff just so that I can tell people that I did, then I hit the clubs for the rest of my stay. [:D]

Are you saying you are such a quick study that it took only three minutes to appreciate one of the world's most interesting architects? Or are we to understand that the three minutes was literally, as you write, to tell people you saw it? (Even if you just considered it "stuff.") I would agree that Gaudi probably is not everyone's cup of tea.

Cheers,

Bill

What actually happened was that I went to the Sagrada Familia and a few other important landmarks like the ones you mentioned, but I didn't really do the hardcore studying of these things like many other tourists do. The reason is I am not really very interested in sight-seeing or history in terms of doing touristic stuff. It was a short visit of two days only to Barcelona (as part of a longer medical research exchange program elsewhere in Spain), so I did the bare minimum regarding touristic attractions, and then spent most of the remaining time at clubs and beaches. The visit was in July.

With only two days in Barcelona, I would say you had your priorities right, Ramzi. With limited time, beaches, clubs (and the women who frequent them), take priority over architecture any day.

Cheers,

Bill

I'm glad we are in agreement, Bill. [:D]

I went there in about 1986, and checked into a cheap hotel off the ramblas. Then I went to los Tarrantos and enjoyed a great cuadro. The next day, I went to el corte ingles and bought an italian suit-it took almost all my money. That night I went back to los tarrantos and no one was there but me for the early show. I managed to meet the dancers. Five beautiful women.
