How interesting to learn all that about Gaudi! Thank you for explaining so much so well! We had a wonderful time exploring everything BUT the Sagrada Familia when we visited Barcelona for a long weekend ages ago. We stayed near one of his houses and spent a lovely afternoon in Park Güell. But now I am intrigued to learn more about his connection with your Great-Grandfather. How exciting! Loved all the photos too! Nice work on this one!

This is deliciously interesting! What a mind that guy had, and he was born at the right time to bring these ideas to fruition. I loved the interiors and close-up photos of the tile work. Let's hear it for the builders, contractors, tile artists and everyone else who were able to construct the swooping lines, irregular shapes and color themes of Gaudí's vision.

Your first impression of Gaudi’s work as “weird” aligned with my own original thoughts. Then in 2019, I saw the magnificence of his creations in person in Barcelona and immediately felt awe then love. His use of color and curves reflect nature. I’m a huge fan! 💖
