Designed by Antoni Gaudi, and named after Eusebi Guell, Parc Guell can only be described as a scene from Alice in wonderland. Beautifully designed structures full of colourful plants, and moulded supports and columns resembling nature, it is obvious Biomimicry was one of Gaudis passions. Everything towered above us as we made our way through, making us feel miniscule. It was built between 1900 and 1914, and acts as a historic landmark site for all of Barcelona and its citizens. Gaudi has earned a reputation for himself as an artistic hero, and creative saviour. There is an 'enchanting' factor that keeps you in wonder, and it really has captured the peace and calmness that a park of this size demands.
