Park Guell was designed and initiated by Antoni Gaudi in 1898. Gaudi’s unique genius is on display all over Barcelona. He blends natural scenes into his construction. These trees are supports for pedestrian walkways that carry people through the park. Gaudi modeled this section after the Jardins de la Fontaine in Nimes France.

Cartagena
Spiderman Cartagena.
Street corner Cartagena.
Barcelona. Imagine seeing all of this along with the beautiful street music of the Roma.
Cheers to you from The Holler.
I am glad to have you as a tour guide, Cindy. Your eye doesn’t miss a trick!
Both cities are a visual paradise. Muchas gracias my friend~
I wanna go to this PLACE!! Aw aw!
Spain is not expenisve and trains are a good deal also. I just feel so at home in Spain. Cheers to you~
Spain and italy would be great for a journey. Let’s save some moneyyyy!
You won’t regret it!!! π
I have not been to Spain yet. Maybe in 2015!?
It is definitely worth spending time in Spain. Ancient ruins, Flaminco guitar, open markets, friendly people and color everywhere. I hope you do go! Cheers & thanks Fae~
I like your photographs,Cindy.
Merci beau coup!
Great spotting of these wall arts. I am wondering they were painted by the owner of the buildings or someone came later and did them. The spiderman work would need supporting structure to paint that high. I am imagine.
I like the street shot of the man playing the instruments. Nice shot of him.
I suspect they may have been done by art students at the university? Just a guess though. That is an excellent point about the spidermen. Maybe a blogger will enlighten us!
Love Park Guell — I’ve never even heard of it, so you’ve broadened my horizons already this morning! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
Martha Stewart must be right! “We can learn something new everyday!” Cheers & thank you~

I will comply with this request with pleasure and gratitude! Thank you~
Wow, the face on the wall in that second picture looks like it’s coming right out of the wall! You showcase a lot of talented artists, as well as lots of colorful scenes in your photos. The trees as part of the construction of walkways is unique and beautiful. Great pictures!
I thought the fence around the face looked like a cage to keep him in!! Spain is just remarkable. Thank you Becky…..polish your lens and get ready for the supermoon tomorrow. I want to see it from your neck of the woods!
Glad you told me about it — I’ll try to catch it!
