This building is architectural art – it’s like going to a gallery and marvelling at the skill of the artist.
The Battló family had purchased this house on one of Barcellona’s prestige boulevards and had Gaudi remodel it to create something that stood out as being audacious and creative.
There are not too many straight lines in the design and maybe that’s the secret that sets this building apart.

A visit to Sagrada Familia Basilica is uplifting. The exterior gives you no clue to the feelings you will experience inside.

Even though the market is under cover, wear your sun glasses to protect your eyes from the marvelous colours of the fruit and vegetables!

Down the Western Explorer highway, through Corinna, Zeehan and Strahan for a day on Macquarie Harbour.

Site of the Dome Church and Napoleon’s grave, Les Invalides has also long functioned as a military hospital.

Relax by the cozy fire, have a ride on a tourist train, visit a gold mine, wander through the historic cemetery – it’s a great weekend away in Walhalla.
