During the holidays, I went to Barcelona. And I saw a lot of awesome things ! Including Gaudì's work. You probably heard of the Sagrada Familia (one of the last cathedral to be build and still under construction). Well he was the architect who designed it.
He was a Catalan architect from the 19th-20th centuries. His artworks are completely extravagant and most of them are located in Barcelona.

and La Perdrera has crazy curves:  |
Gaudì also created Park Güell, it is a really pleasant and charming place where the architecture is as much fantastic as in Gaudì's buildings.
The architecture in Barcelona is very different from France where the buildings are rather dull. There is a lot more colors and diversity. When I first saw one of Gaudì's work, I immediately thought of Claude Ponti's books (for those of you who don't know him, he is a writer and illustrator for children book). And that is probably the reason I loved it right away.
