We spent a beautiful sunny morning in Park Güel, the grounds of Eusebi Güel's planned community that never really got off the ground. Only two homes were ever built - the show house, which became Gaudí 's residence and a caretaker's house. Gaudí used shards of manufactured tiles, a mosaic style know as trencadis, to decorate the undulating benches surrounding the huge central pavilion. We soaked up the sun and delighted in Gaudí's mosaics, marveling over and over again at his imagination and creativity.
