Gaudí's Barcelona, Spain: Architectural Modernisma Showcase

Barcelona's Eixample neighborhood is an architectural showcase for residents and tourists alike. Buildings adorned with Modernisma, Catalan's version of Art Nouveau, line the Block of Discord with colorful, leafy, flowing and blooming shapes, ending with Gaudí's triumphant Casa Milà.

My favorite European city. Unfortunately, I think I may long be dead by the time the Sagrada Familia is completed.

Barcelona Decideix is a citizen’s initiative to organise a referendum in the city of Barcelona on Catalonia’s independence from Spain, which will be held on April 10th, 2011. It is a democratic gesture of participation in a poll called, organized and financed by Catalan citizens. This referendum will close a series of referendums that started in September 2009 in Arenys de Munt.

The Catalan people want Catalonia's independence

Come on to be free
