Introduction


Can each day be headlined by a word (or two) and represented by a single sentence?

Will they, in turn, weave together to form a tapestry of the year?

It may be more mundane than momentous, but it’s mine to share.

Gaudi

A lengthy stroll (or short hike) in the Barcelona sunshine enabled us to trace a brief timeline of the career of Antoni Gaudi, the genius architect whose work has become a symbol of the city: the Paleu Guell in the old town - one of his first commissions; the Casa Batllo and La Pedrera - fantastic apartment block facades in the Eixample quarter; and the Sagrada Familia - his (still) unfinished cathedral to which he devoted his final years and in which he lies buried.
