Loved this Gaudi designed home. Right in the center of Barcelona, it is fascinating to imagine that a family actually lived here. So many unique design elements that it really shows the breadth of Gaudi's genius More

Wonderful experience. We were initially put off by the high entrance price, but it is worth every penny. Get there early before all the parties descend. You can either pay in cash or by card. Shop very interesting but oh those prices! More
