One of the most striking things you notice when you walk
around Barcelona is its fabulous architecture. Most of the Barcelonians just
walk on by, completely oblivious--or accustomed?--to the beauty around them.

In this photo, you can see the Casa Amatller and the Casa Batlló sitting side
by side along the busy main thoroughfare, the Passeig de Grŕcia. The Casa
Amatller was designed by Puig i Cadalfalch, the same architect responsible for
the Pointed House (Casa de les Punxes) among many other Barcelona landmarks.
Casa Batlló, of course, is Antoni Gaudí's creation, and has many of the
undulating surfaces and animal imagery present in much of Gaudí's work.
