BARCELONA
There are 1.5 million citizens in Barcelona. On the two central squares of the city one can see people of all races and of all colours of skin. One of the most visited places in Barcelona is Ramblas Street, which resembles the Moscow Arbat: there are only pedestrians, who can have their portrait made by a local painter, buy parrots, fish, and even an ostrich! Nevertheless, there is a peculiarity that does not exist in Moscow: "live sculptures". The first time you pass nearby it is difficult to believe that they are people and not real sculptures in bronze. Normally, these "sculptures" do not move, but if you throw a coin to them, they start singing, telling stories and even allow a photo with them.
Barcelona is famous for a large number of houses in the Art Nouveau style and its leader is doubtlessly the architect Antonio Gaudi. His most famous building is the cathedral Sagrada Familia which Gaudi was constructing all his life. But he did not manage to finish it. Thus, it is a new generation who charged themselves with the difficult task. It is said that the cathedral will be finished in 19 years, in June the month of the birth and the death of Gaudi.
The Guell Park, built as a project of Gaudi as well, made me think about the house of Maxim Gorky in Moscow, built by the architect Shekhtel in the 20th century: the park, as well as the house, creates around us an undersea world where all the details lake the form of waves, water, algae...
Moscow Arbat looks like Ramblas Street in Barcelona.
