Parc Guell

Prepare yourself as you enter this fantasy park high above the city of Barcelona. You are met at the entrance by the mosaic dragon - enter the park and go through stone archways mirroring the shape of tree trunks and end up on the main terrace, surrounded by a long bench in the form of a sea serpent. If the tiled bench seems oddly comfortable then it is due to Gaudi's trick of getting a naked workman to sit in wet clay to get the curves just right.
