"A Nut, or a Genius?"
Barcelona has become Gaudí's city, which is ironic since Gaudí didn’t start out as the city’s cultural icon. Far from it: for a long time his only real supporter was the very-rich Eusebi Güell. It was only much later that the city, and Gaudí's critics, finally began to understand what he was doing.
I have yet to get to Barcelona but it is at the top of my Travel Wishlist to see Gaudi's work first-hand.
