Art / Architecture: Graphic Design
  • Tip Rating:
  • Being a graphic designer myself I pay atention to this kind of things. BCN is really a trandy city in this aspec, you will find many exhibitions, studies, agencies, and the best spanish graphic design come from this city, I must admit. You will notice that in the exhibitions posters, leaflets... and in many cool shops.

    Many people visit Spain to see the great works of Dalí. Exhibits run through the city all the time and his works can be seen in places like Montserrat all the way to Port Lligat where his former home is or the Gala's castle in Púbol it's hard not to find a place to study one of Spain's greatest artist's work. Look around or ask at the tourist centers. You're sure to find something.

    Art / Architecture: Ornate decor on the walls.
  • Tip Rating:
  • After looking at the caged birds in Las Rambla I spotted the free pigeon (no charge) so stopped to take a photo, at first I didn't notice the beautiful patterns on the buildings. Take your time in Barcelona and really admire the ornate buildings with their lovely art work in glorious colours.

    Art / Architecture: Look up--an artististic world above you
  • Tip Rating:
  • Many of the old cobblestone streets of Spain have an enormous cache of art above the normal viewpoint. Little saint niches covered with glass were always at peculiar corners. A whole world of art and culture exists at ten feet, easily overlooked if you’re not aware of it. I think there could be a whole coffee table book with just the niches--fascinating.

    Even though Barcelona in many ways is a modern town, it doesn't look like all areas yet have cable tv.

    Art / Architecture: WALKING THROUGH BARCELONA.....
  • Tip Rating:
  • You will see many of these wonderful little works of Art. The idea came from Antoni Gaudi and he even went fo far that in the whole city of BARCELONA glass was gathered for these "pictures" in between white pieces of mosaic. In fact everyone did his/her part to make places colourful and bright, especially the Spanish sun knows how to make them look like GEMS. Enjoy them....

    Art / Architecture: Barcelona is the city of Gaudi...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Barcelona is the city of Gaudi and Modernism: the Eixample is the largest 'open air' museum of Modernism in the world, and to celebrate its 150th birthday, this year Barcelona is preparing a year dedicated to the personality and work of Gaudi with an extensive programm of exhibitions, studies, seminars... which will be open to the public during this year. The city's cultural agenda offers a large variety of shows, popular festivals (great events such as the Grec summer Festival from July to August), theatre, dance, music, opera, flamenco.... Interesting museums to visit: Museu Picasso, Fundació Joan Miró, MNAC (the largest collection of Roman art in the world), MACBA (periodical contemporary art exhibitions)..... I attach a little map of Barcelona where you can see most of the Modernism buidings.....

    Art / Architecture: Don't miss the Sagrada...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Don't miss the Sagrada Familia, the master piece of Gaudi. Somewhere in a pannel I saw the following: Thanks Gaudi for inspiring a thought. For being a mirror where we want to reflect ourselves. For discovering that in nature we find the beginning and the end of all forms. For considering innovation as the only way to achieve perfection. Thanks for incentive ourselves to overcome each day. Because your work shows us that there is not any tool more powerful than imagination. With talent. With persistence. But above all, with the ability of dream other worlds. Impossible worlds.
