But for me, there is nothing like the beauty of Gaudí‘s buildings, on Paseo de Gracia, illuminated at Christmas, full of magic and secret memories for lovers of its architecture.
Casa Batlló offers different polychromes for this 2021.
And one of my favorite hotels Casa Fuster, the right place to take a glass of Champagne enjoying the sound of jazz.
Barcelona is a city to visit and not forget!
