Parc Güell is one of artist Antoni Gaudí's masterpieces: a 17-hectare garden complex with whimsical architectural elements overlooking the city of Barcelona. One of the park's many highlights is the preponderance of Gaudí's famous tiled mosaics, one of which is captured in all of its multicolored glory in today's Photo of the Day from Flickr user Gus NYC. ...

When you're traveling, art can pop up to surprise you in the most random of places. This elaborate piece of rooftop graffiti was captured by Flickr user Aviv from the heights of Parc Guell in Barcelona, Spain. Judging by the comments on Flickr, this street artist might just give Gaudi a run for his money.

It may not be the capital of Spain, but Barcelona is most certainly the capital of Catalonia, and it's one of the more bustling, thriving and varied cities that Europe has to offer. You might say it's equipped with the perfect mix of old and new, and given its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea, it also boasts something that most other major cities do not: a beach! Of course, figuring out ...

A refreshing detail of Gaudi's Casa Batllo in Barcelona, Spain. The bright colors, varying shapes, and whimsical lines of this roof line showcase Gaudi's style without incorporating the entire work. I appreciate that a grand building's overall feel can be shown in just a tiny detail. And it makes me feel cheerful just to look at it. Thanks to Flickr user Gus NYC for sharing it with Gadling's ...

Feb 14th, 2009 at 2:00PM: Centrally located on Gran Via, Hotel Catalonia Gaudi offers inexpensive comfort and convenience in Madrid. Long a favorite of business travelers, tourists will also enjoy its spacious rooms, large private balconies and proximity to local attractions.
The rooms are large enough for two people to have plenty of elbow room. Request one with a view if you want some outdoor space. The walls on the ...

Jun 5th, 2008 at 9:30AM: Today's Photo of the Day comes from Flickr user tysonwilliams.com. He calls it: "Chimneys, Casa Milà, Barcelona, Spain" and after researching a bit, I discovered that it's a Gaudi designed building that is now a World Heritage site and it's obviously most famous for the quite spectacular roof and chimneys. I'm not sure if he used a filter, or if he warmed it up digitally, but either way, ...
