Park Guell origins 

Park Guell was originally designed as an exclusive housing estate for the rich. So this fabulous space atop Mount Pelat, although a commercial failure, is a lasting example of what happens when Antoni Gaudi really let loose and so is not to be missed.

Packed with more symbolism and mystery than a Dan Brown novel, Park Guell is a true representation of the architect’s three passions in life; nature, nationalism and religion. Therefore, it is here you can really see how the Catalan wizard melds his design into the landscape.

Gaudi and nature

Perfect harmony between man and nature was the name of the game. So with great views out across the city and quiet walkways amongst the contours of the hill, you can, with a bit of effort, find some peace and quiet to enjoy this Antoni Gaudi gem.

Visiting the Park

However it is a shame that the ‘Monumental’ section of the park is no longer free, but it is well worth the entry fee. There are a couple fo things to remember. For instance,  make sure that you buy tickets online before you go. Only a limited number of people are allowed access at any one time.

There is now a dedicated shuttle bus from the Alfons X metro station to the park. It is included in the ticket price.
