Spanish food at Barcelona

Breakfast at the cafe near Sagrada Familia; we ordered Gaspach, Empanada and capchinos.

Shrimp salad with bread. Tapas seems like side dishes or appetizers and most of Tapas are served on the bread.  This restaurant serves it separately.

This is a combo dish; a beef steak, sausage, French fries, sunny side, and salad.

Oysters from the market.  We went the restaurant near the Boqueria market.  Everything is very fresh!

Everybody knows Paella.  Well seasoned steamed rice and fresh sea food make it literally delicious.

This is common style of Tapas; topping on the bread.  They are well fitted with beer and wine.

This is veritable paella. Beans make it sweet and pepper makes spicy.  Good combination of vegetables.

These are fast food types of Tapas at Barcelona Airport.  Fried squid ( a dish at the top) is very close to the Japanese one.  Even quiche tastes good for beer.

The works by Gaudi at Barcelona and Mallorca

Gaudi is a very famous architect with Sagrada Familia, under constructing in more than one hundred years.

It will be completed in2026, ten years later from now.
Besides Sagrada Familia, Gaudi produced the Park Guell  and the Casa Mila apartment in Barcelona,  and designed the sacred canopy in the Cathedral at Mallorca.

The Guel Park was originally produced for the resident use, however, the design of houses and monuments were so advanced and unique that no one lived there except Earl Guell and Gaudi.  

So, it was donated to Barcelona city as the Park Guell after Earl Guell passed away.

The picture below is Casa Mila, the apartment for Mr. Mila, located in the center of Barcelona.

It is said that this building has no straight lines and that people at that time had negative feelings because of the unique design, then it was called "La Pedrera" (a quarry in English).

Nowadays, it is the museum of Gaudi's architecture.

The last Gaudi's works I visited and saw were the Sacred Canopy and the stained glass in the Cathedral in Mallorca.  This Cathedral is famous with the night view as well.
