Up ahead you can see some of the many escaleras (stairs) we climbed to get to the top
It was a long walk up Carmel Hill, and I was exhausted by the top!
Here I am with Parc Güell and the city of Barcelona behind me!
Here are two of the houses constructed for Parc Güell -- can you tell what fairytale they were based off of?
From the top of Carmen Hill, I had a great view of Barcelona!
These pillars were constructed as an optical illusion: as you walk through them, you appear to get smaller
Gaudí constructed these circles in the ceiling to each represent a season: this one represents invierno (winter)
The yellow and red stripes of this mosaic symbolize the bandera (flag) of Catalonia
