What people are saying about Casa Mila

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You will see a LOT of Gaudi Architecture
We saw Sagrada Familia from an external perspective on our first visit to Barcelona, so we wan to go within this stupendous church just as different acclaimed Gaudi structures and this visit didn’t baffle. Our guide for the Sagrada Familia visit was knowledgeable in its set of experiences and talked plainly and kept our genuinely enormous gathering together and on time (not a simple assignment). Our second guide for the visit through Park Guill and other Gaudi Buildings was additionally was very knowledgeable in the subject and talked fantastic English, but since that aspect of the visit was given in both English and Spanish, it was somewhat all the more befuddling on occasion to comprehend. In the wake of visiting Park Guill, the last aspect of the visit includes strolling outwardly of two of Gaudi’s midtown structures. While that is fascinating in the event that you don’t take the additional visit through within at any rate one of the structures (we did), the time and energy spent to see the outside may not merit the exertion. Be prompted, there is a LOT of strolling on this visit!
