I've been to Spain almost every year since I was little, because I have family there, but I've never been to Barcelona before. And I have to say from the few days I've been there, it's definitely on the top of my list of european cities to visit and consideration to move to, and I think it would be a shame and waste of footage if I didn't share with you what I photographed in Barcelona. For any fellow architecture lover, this city should be on your bucket-list if you haven't been there already. The city is pretty much made up of beautiful designs and patterns.
I'm not a professional photographer, but surrounded by the architecture, light and vibe of this city I couldn't help, but capture a lot. Enjoy!
Barcelona is known to be the center of Antoni Gaudí's fascinating architecture work and I was stunned by looking at all the beautiful buildings and exact detail. The famous Casa Batllo, or House of Bones (because the façade has a rather skeletal feel), is Gaudí’s earliest famous work:
All images by me
It is located on the Block of Discord, which is a well-known block because it has four famous architects buildings right next to each other, from Lluís Domènech i Montaner's Casa Lleó-Morera, Enric Sagnier's Casa Mulleras, Josep Puig i Cadafalch's Casa Amatller.
El Cap de Barcelona ("the head") is a ceramic tile sculpture, that is said to acknowledge Gaudí and Barcelona's affinity for mosaics.
The warm stone, many buildings are made up of always let me know that I'm in Spain
I love the mouse-perspective angle that very well portrays the impression of these buildings
When you walk through the streets of Barcelona it in a way feels like the buildings are hugging you!
And then we found this epic image, made up of many little images.
This image is a great representation I think of how Barcelona and the architecture looks like. The buildings look really cool when you just look at them, but when you get closer you realize that the magic and art lies in every small detail and you can feel how precise everything was designed.
The sunsets in Barcelona are particularly beautiful!
The sky takes on the most amazing colors and many people from around the world enjoy their evening in the center of the city, by the famous cathedral "La Catedral de la Santa Creu i Santa Eulàlia"
Finally - my favorite view from from the mountains
(the mountain that I shared in my previous travel post)
From a nice view during the day...
to a stunning view at night...
Barcelona is a city where I could literally walk around all day and not get bored, because there's always more to see. I'm determined on going back soon to explore more, but in the mean time travel to new places I haven't yet visited.
What's your favorite city and why?
Much love,
- Mrs.Steemit
@mrs.steemit - Wow - Barcelona just used to be synonymous with the name of a football club for me so far. You have put Barcelona as a city on my map!!
It is definitely going to be on my bucket-list of cities to visit. When I travel, I look for a city with 'character' rather than just touristy attractions. I like to see the city like a local - experiencing its history, spoken by it;s old buildings, I like to hear its voice - heard in the babble of humanity in it's market, I like to feel the freedom of expression of the city, through the artworks in the city...
You have through your picture blog, demonstrated that Barcelona is going to tick all those boxes for me.
I love the facade of Casa Batello and even the building next to it. I love the warm stone buildings which truly appear to exude a welcome as you walk past them. Your 'mouse perspective' angle does emphasize the perspective very well indeed. The night shot of the city is just stunning too. Mental note to self - I must use the mouse perspective more often when I photograph old buildings.
Thank you for this detailed and wonderful blog. I feel like hopping on a plane right now - alas, have to wait for generating enough Steem to do that . (just joking. I will manage to get allocation of some funds for this trip from the boss (my wife) LOL)
Thanks for sharing. Upvoted
I hope I will be able to put up such interesting blogs sometime in near future. I am mostly into wildlife and travel blogs with my original photos and my musings about them. I request you to visit my latest blogs sometime when you have time - your comments would be very welcome and will really take my Steemit experience to a new level.

Spain is the Thailand of Europe
So many pictures so many colours. It's 3 am in the UK And I'm about to sleep but all these exciting pictures literally woke me up again lol.
I knew Barcelona was a beautiful city because I love the football team and they have an amazing stadium, but I never really looked into the city itself properly.
This gives me a good idea of what to expect 😍😍

My favorite city is Manhattan, KS because I live there and it is home of the WILDCATS!!!
That's funny. I did an exchange year in CT and the sports-team of my high school was called Wildcats^^
Thanks for up voting my comment. That'll help me out a lot! What color were your high-school uniforms? Kansas State University is purple and white. So we bleeeed purple here. Our motto is EMAW. Every Man A Wildcat.
Would love to see you sport this shirt. Other colors available. 👩🚀
