We only had a half day to spent on the last day in Barcelona. So this time we decided to visit some famous places, but just to see how it looks like from outside and not trying to explore more than that due to our limited time.
To make it like a flow, we took metro from Placa de Catalunya station to Diagonal station. From there, we took a walk towards Placa de Catalunya. By having this walked, we can enjoy various buildings and branded shopping store along the street.
Our first stop is at one of Antoni Gaudi's masterpiece named Casa Mila or also known as La Pedrera. This building is named after the owners, Pere Mila, and the project to create the current architecture was started in 1906.

The next building that we came accross was Casa Batllo. This also one of Gaudi's masterpiece and named after the owner of the building, Joseph Batllo. According to what I read ini Wikipedia, in the early 20th century, Passeig de Gracia was well known as a very prestigious and fashionable area. It is also an area where the prestigious family could draw attention to themselves. So no wonder Batllo and Mila put some effort to make their houses as unique as possible and hired Antoni Gaudi as the architect to make their house more picturesque.

Done with the houses, now it's time for shopping. My original plan was only to Zara, but we managed to visit other stores as well during the walk to Zara :p

| amazed by this store since we don't have Mango Man store in Indonesia :( |
Compare to the price in Indonesia, the Zara in Barcelona is only cheaper by IDR 100k- 200k, but since I already had plan for certain items, so the stuffs became more appealing to be bought in here.
XOXO,
The Tourist
