Colonia Güell
& Cripta Gaudi
In a small town outside of Barcelona you will find another work of Gaudí: the Cripta Gaudí which was built in the planned housing estate for the workers at “Colonia Güell”… Or at least started to be built. This crypt is considered the test phase for the Sagrada Familia.
My Rating:
The positives:
If you want to escape the city for a few hours, you should visit this small village and don't miss the Cripta Gaudí! A little journey into the time of industrialization and modernism!
The negatives:
Except for the fact that you have to plan an hour round trip... Nothing ;)
Tip:
Use the audio guide! Here you will get a lot of interesting information about life in the village, the different buildings and the crypt.
