It would be very difficult to visit Barcelona without hearing the name of the famous architect Antoni Gaudi and seeing some of his creations around this city.
A number of his buildings are included in the World Heritage list. Seven of those are in Barcelona.The seven buildings are: Parque Güell; Palacio Güell; Casa Mila; Casa Vicens; Gaudí’s work on the Nativity façade and Crypt of La Sagrada Familia; Casa Batlló; Crypt in Colonia Güell.
While I’m not a big fan of his “unique” style, I am impressed with the engineering side of some of these creations.
For those of you that like his style more than I do, here are some pictures of his work.
Morpheus was designed by Carl Schumacher, built by Davie Norris Boatbuilders in New Zealand and launched in 2002. She spent her first 18 months cruising the South Pacific before reaching her home port of San Francisco. Since that time, Morpheus has been raced and cruised extensively. This blog will document her ongoing adventures.
