Gaudí's architecture

The life's treeDuring the weekend I visited Gaudí’s La Sagrada Familia and La Pedrera. Both visits included an audio guide that was excellent. Learning about his pasion for architecture, his drive to connect nature to his work, and his absolute dedication to his last project, La Sagrada Familia, gave me an understanding that La Casa Batlló didn’t. To the left you can see el árbol de la vida from La Sagrada Familia.
