It’s no surprise his buildings are UNESCO-listed.’Take in the relaxed vibe of Passeig de Gracia, where your guide will bring Barcelona’s architectural history to life. First up is Casa Battlò with its wavy windows, fantastical colours and scaled roof. As you stroll along to reach Casa Pedrera – also known as Casa Mila – your guide will point out more Modernist buildings created by other architects and Gaudì rivals. ‘Gaudì’s trencadis technique is what defines his work – admire this type of mosaic using broken tiles, stones, marble and glass’, says Marta.
