Güell Park was laid out from 1900 to 1914. The most popular attractions are the snake like ceramic seats with their beautiful broken tile mosaics, the colourful dragon fountain, (a popular souvenir in miniature) and the two Hansel and Gretel style pavillons at the front gate.
In the heat of the summer the Park offers a cool alternative to wandering the streets downtown, with plenty of shade.
Metro (Vallcarca - with escalators taking you up the hill, and a walk down into the park from above) Alternatively, number 24 bus to Carmel.
