La Pedrera

The next port of call for us after seeing the statue honouring Narcis Monturiol was La Pedrera, another of Antoni Gaudi's Barcelona buildings. It's official name is Casa Mila but is better known by La Pedrera, which means stone quarry, which its facade resembles. It was built between 1906 and 1912. We did not go into the main building, which houses a cultural centre. We did however sample yet another coffee in Cafe de la Pedrera, on the ground floor.







I guess this was the poshest of the places we visited on this bargain holiday. The ceiling in particular is worthy of note. Lots of waves and ripples, very Gaudi.
