364 – Imy & Kat’s European Vacation: Barcelona
I went to Barcelona about 4 years ago. I absolutely ADORED it. If you’re into art and architecture, you would too. It’s an incredibly beautiful city and it has some of the most amazing architectural art I’ve seen. Much of the city’s buildings and parks are designed by the eccentric Antoni Gaudi. I studied a lot of his work in my art history classes in college and I was thrilled ot be able to see it all in person. Today’s comic is based on an apartment building called “Casa Mila,” aka “La Pedrera.” The building is gorgeous, but the most striking part of it is the rooftop. It’s surreal up there. It’s basically a sculpture garden where every feature of the roof (chimneys, entrences and exits) is sculpted. The chimneys are supposed to resemble warriors. But if you let your mind run………
You can’t miss Casa Mila if you ever go to Barcelona. And just to add, since I added it in the skyline in the back of panel 2, you absolutely can’t miss La Sagrada Familia if you’re there. A church that has been built for the past 140 years, and continues to be built today. That is hands down one of the most amazing places I’ve ever been.
Out of all the cities I’ve seen, Barcelona is my favorite by far. I can’t wait to go back there some day 😀
It’s absolutely one of mine as well! I NEED to go back again! But next time I go I won’t go in August where it’s 40C every day and the air is as thick as a pool 🙂
Imy and Kat certainly have that warrior….at attention. Oh, that wacky Gaudi.
Well, Warrior is another name for a… 😯
Whoa, that first panel, that looks like the tower in Infinite Stratos anime. Part of the “school” for mech users.
