Barcelona Rooftops by filsie65

Barcelona Rooftops

...Not your normal kind of view! Parc Güell is incredible, my camera just didn't do it justice.
A chap called Eusebi Güell asked Gaudi to design a stylish living area - most of the houses weren't ever built, but those that were show Gaudi's incredible vision and imagination. Around every corner was a great view, from crazy rooftops like these to a huge arena or lush palm tree groves. Marvellous - and it was free to get in!!
Bit more of a contrast for the next destination on the trip... http://365project.org/filsie65/just-stuff/2013-05-27

So lovely to come back to all your views and comments, thank you - I'm going to post a shot now and again to catch up and spend free time in-between viewing yours :)
I'm not jealous! I would love to see Gaudi's work up close. Fabulous shot. Thanks for sharing your adventure!!

@gailmmeek Hi Gail! It's up on the hill in Barcelona, Spain, quite a hoik up the hill but worth the walk! Apparently they used to say that 'Barcelona lives with its back to the sea' meaning the upper-classes lived away from the harbour, and the further inland you were, the better. Now that beach holidays are so popular, living close to the sea is the 'in thing' !

what wonderful rooftops! Does make me think I'd enjoy doing the Gaudi tour
May 31st, 2013  
Great view! I've been there years ago, and I just realized it's time to visit Barcelona again :) Wonderful capture!

Great shot of these roofs. I have never seen roofs designed like these. Cool.

I'm jealous to the max - Gaudi's work is one of the few things I am just not fully satisfied at seeing on 365 That said that is an awesome capture!
