A tour to discover Gaudí as a young architect. This tour will take us on a visit to the Palau Güell and Casa Vicens.
Curiously, both are located in neighborhoods a bit off the beaten track from Barcelona’s Modernist-style areas. The Palau Güell is located just next to La Rambla, and the Casa Vicens is in Gracia, an old village that was actually outside the city of Barcelona until 1900. Built to be single-family homes, nowadays nobody lives in either of these houses.
Enjoy a different tour with us !!!!! click here for more information. |
