Barcelona: Day 1

For the first time in a long time, I am taking two weeks off from work to travel and relax. I’m currently in Barcelona with my mom and Uncle, a sort of family vacation. Yesterday was our first full day in the city and we planned to visit a number of sites built by Antonio Gaudi. We didn’t make it to as many as anticipated, but enjoyed the time we spent where we did and have plenty of time for the rest. Here are a few shots from day one, mostly of Casa Batllo, a residence built by Gaudi and completed in 1906. If you haven’t heard of him before, you’ll quickly see why he is unique and has made his mark in Barcelona.
