Architecture from the pavement
Modernista Barcelona was built to be looked at from the outside, and the outside belongs to everyone.
The Illa de la Discòrdia
One block of Passeig de Gràcia where three rival modernista houses, Gaudí's Casa Batlló among them, compete for attention.
Sagrada Família's facades
The Nativity and Passion facades repay a slow circuit of the building; you lose the towers, not the sculpture.
Casa de les Punxes
Pointed, brick and neo-medieval, and best appreciated from the corner of Avinguda Diagonal, where it owns the whole block.
