BARCELONA APARTMENT LIFE TOUR 2013 #2: THE ARCHITECTURE

As some of you may know, Barcelona is big on funky architecture, thanks to Gaudi being a local. 

As it happened, his most famous building, La Sagrada Familia, was so close to my apartment that I had a view of it.

Sort of.

Also, Torre Agbar (not a Gaudi project) was a five-minute stroll away.

There’s an obvious joke here. Feel free to contribute in the comments. 

And finally, there was the Hotel Porta Fira across the street from the venue of the event I was attending.

It looks like this.

And that’s all I got on architecture.

Up next: the airplane!

They don’t build ‘em like they used to,

This is dF
