If you are going to be visiting Barcelona then you must plan a trip to Park Güell. This park with stunning views over Barcelona towards the sea was the creation of Gaudi who wanted to create a self contained area for both the wealthy aristocrats of the area to enjoy as well as the general public. The original plans he had for the park were rather radical for their day and many of them did not take off so in 1922 the Güell family gave the park to the city of Barcelona.
