Casa Milà aka Pedrera
This and the Sagrada Familia basilica were the highlights of my Goudi feast. There were long lines here too so I paid €27 for the first class ticket and went directly to the famous roof. It is like a playground. The fantastic shapes are chimneys. What is their design genesis? Is there a Moorish influence I am missing? I had the impression the Moorish tenure in Catalonia was minimal. I wonder if the residents spent much time there? One of the chimneys was a mosaic of broken champagne bottles. I suppose that spoke to the times. Two floors of apartments were open for viewing with original Gaudi period furniture. I was very interested to experience these rooms with only a rare right angle. Surprisingly they seemed to be quite functional. The kitchen especially. They all certainly had “personality.”
