Day 4 in Barcelona

Our project here in Barcelona is to use some of Antoni Gaudi's ideas in our kite project. For this reason we visited some Gaudi buildings today.

We started in the morning. We took the bus to Park Güell where all 100 first year's students from Escola Masasna met. This park was designed by Gaudi and built between 1900 and 1914.

All first year's students of Escola Massana was here to make small drawings, and of course, there was some waiting time in a chilly morning. It was quite cold before the sun started to shine, but then it was nice to stay here. We found many Gaudi motives to make drawings of, and the whole area was filled up with students making drawings. In the end one of the Escola Massana teachers made comments to the paintings.

From Park Güell we walked down to Lesseps metro station and then we went down to Diagonal. Here we visited the famous Casa Milà, better known as La Pedrera, in Passeig de Gracia. Our guide told us about this building, and because the elevator was out of use (really?) we had to walk all the way up to the roof. There are some very especial constructions here, and it is a wonderful view of the whole city from up here.

It was not easy to walk down all the steps, but we went out into the street, Passeig de Gracia, to look at another famous building, Casa Battló. This one we just watch the outside of.

We spent the evening with our Massana friends. I went with the mother of my friend to at shopping centre to look for new shoes.
