You can see from this picture the Gaudi dragon fountain that is at the entrance to Guell park. This dragon is adorned in beautiful coloured tiling and there is something rather hypnotic and magical about it.
Antonio gaudi parc guell – large organic looking columns made from stone. Here you can see a walkway supported by twisting rock pillars that seem to be growing out of the ground like tree trunks.
