Lunch and more Gaudi

Image
While in the neighborhood of the Archaeology Museum, we had an excellent lunch at a place called La Gordita. We had the menu of the day, which included this awesome seafood soup. Yes, that is a lobster head in my soup. We then went back and toured Casa Mila, also known as La Pedrera (the quarry), a gaudi building about 7 blocks north of our hotel. It is a fairly large apartment building. Here is the exterior. And here is a close up of one of the awesome balconies. Some of the roof decoration. And a general view of the roof. It was a very cool building, and gave a good overview of the progression of Gaudi's work. You also goot to go through one of the apartments in the building. They were very cool, very open and airy.
