Barcelona has to be one of the most beautifully designed cities I've ever seen. Every kind of design from graphic, interior, exterior, environmental, industrial, architectural, traditional and contemporary, has been strategically and organically placed throughout the city. The blinding white MACBA (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona) with it's pristine wall of glass and open stone slab piazza was an impressive sight. Especially after wandering around dimly lit narrow streets. However, the MACBA is just one of many monumental staples within the city. There is all of Gaudi's works, from the famous Casa Mila, Casa Batilo and Parco Guell. To the famous Torre Agbar and Torre Montjuic, the list goes on and on. Even with seeing all these major sites, the everyday stores and restaurants were just as awe-inspiring. To me Barcelona is truly a city where no detail goes without artistic thought.
