Park Güell is a large garden with architectural elements designed by the Catalan architect Antonio Gaudí at the request of his friend Eusebio Güell, a Barcelona industrialist who financed this city investment. The work took place in the years 1900-1914. Gaudí never completed the project. In one of the few constructed buildings, Gaudí lived himself. In 1922 the government bought the area and transformed it into an urban park.
Today, on Good Friday crowds of Catalans, Spaniards and foreign tourists opted to go to the park on a day off from work. The stroll had nothing to do with any religious cult. Just the joy of life and the beautiful weather ...
Those big crowds forced us to leave the park, because the queues to visit places (where you had to buy an admission ticket) were too long as for our interest.
