Not native spanish but I visited Parc Guell last year.Dann said:What do you expect? It's designed by Gaudi! Possibly the most eccentric architect ever. Well certainly the most eccentric in the 20th century.
His ideas were always unusual. And sometimes unappreciated. One of the housing projects he designed for a developer failed to sell even a single unit. Eventually the city government bought the land and lo! The existing Gaudi works on it made it a very successful and attractive park. (I have forgotten the name of this park but I am certain of its existence. Perhaps someone native to Spain could supply it and perhaps a link?)

It was amazing. I just love every work by Gaudi, especially Sagrada Familia. You can't grasp the true beauty of his works until you've seen it up close with your own eyes.
