From lounging relaxedly at the park to frenzied activity on the Marquet de la Boquaria, -- Park Guell (designed by Gaudi) and Las Ramblas provide the best in people watching, while capturing quite opposite moods of the city.

The park seems straight out of a fantasy dream Gaudi built bird nests in the terrace walls, which imitate the trees on them.

The serpentine bench allows people
to converse privately in the middle of a
large square.

The entrance looks like the
gingerbread house from Hansel and Gretel.
