Okay, so after footie, time for my second passion - arts 
and our dear Gaudi
Gaudi, an artist, architect, visionare and a magician who was, despite of the laugh of the intellectuals and his city fellas making his dreams alive ... materials he used, coloures and curving shapes combined with some gothic spirit go way beyond the basic Art nouveu making it more sureal, a true fantasy and a sensuous design style ...
Casa Milla was the first of his buildings i saw, so expresionistic, with it's fantastic, organic forms in indulating fascade and roof line.
Usually called La Pedrera (the stone quarry), Casa Milla(called after a family that had an apartment at 1st floor) is Gaudi's greatest contribution to Barcelona civic architecture and his last work before he devoted himself entirely to the Sagrada Familia.
The building, of course, completely departed from the established construction principals of the time was designed as an apartment blocks, eight storeys heigh.
Intricate ironwork balconies by J.M.Jujol are like seaweed against the wave-like walls of white undressed stone.Filigran decorationes are the perfect example of the artcrafting so important for the modernism.
The entrance - amazing heavy doors made of steel r just an example of the steel use that is a characteristic of all Gaudi buildings.
Top flor houses Gaudi Museum with models of the building and nice designed chairs:
D gladly have this last one with some nice soft cushions for my reading sessions
There r no straight walls in the building.

El pis de la pedreira - a recontruction of the typical civic apartment from the end of the 19th century offering kinda contrast between the middle class conservativism and and the buildings avant - garde
Hall:
Love the art nouveau posters - too bad there is a window reflection in it ...
Salon
Dining room
Study, my fave, of course

And, at the end, my fav place (after study & library, of course ) - the roof terrace, a miraculous surealistic park of chimney - statues that look like medieval knights with a beautiful sight over Eixample (and S.Familia).
That's it for now, will add some more Gaudi stuff when catch time and combine pics from 3 diff cams, see ya soon
