Gorgeous! Barcelona really is a magical city.

Fascinating - is this a Gaudi building? I don't think so, but I see his influence there, though also some of Otto Wagner in the stencil-like white floral patterns on the flat façade, which obscures the lack of sculptural ornamentation. It's full of interesting elements without being fussy.

No, it is not by Gaudi, but it has his influence, yes. I liked it because it is light and well defined. I checked the website, it doesn't say who the architect was. It belongs to a little town where I used to work some time ago.
