Weekend Snapshot
La Pedrera aka Casa Mila, is one of the main Gaudi residential buildings and one of the most imaginative houses of the architecture history. The present owner - a foundation - opened the building to visitors (selected areas, including the roof!) and has developed a big variety of cultural exhibitions and events.
This is normally a busy main street downtown Barcelona , but not on a Saturday morning. I was downtown last Saturday, had a stroll and delightful family lunch, the three of us.
