The journey begins at Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona's prestigious street. Casa Batllo here is a house designed by Antonio Gaudi, the greatest architect of the time. The design, inspired by the legend of Saint Jordi and the Dragon, stimulates our imagination and artistic sense. We head to Montserrat, the spiritual home of the Catalan people. On the hillside is the Monastery of Montserrat (Monasterio de Montserrat). We put our hands on the statue of the Black Madonna, the patron saint of Catalonia, and pray. We attend mass and watch a performance by the Montserrat Boys' Choir, which is befitting its long history. The Mercat dels Encants flea market has been around since the 14th century Barcelona walls. We visit a camera shop and buy a camera at a low price. We are invited to the home of Mr. Vicens, whom we met by chance at the market. Entering the house with an unusual appearance, a surprising sight unfolds. It turns out that Mr. Vicens was a genius with an outstanding artistic sense! He says that his wife, who always supported him despite his artistic addiction, was the secret to his success. Salvador Dali, a master of surrealist art born in Spain. We head to Cadaques, where he spent his later years. We follow in Dali's footsteps by visiting his favorite bakeries and restaurants. We stand at the Bunquer de Caials at the eastern end of Spain and look back on our busy journey. #WorldThemeTravel #FollowTheLegendSpain #ImmortalCatalonia #Gràcia #CasaBatlló #Montserrat #MontserratMonastery #EncanzFleaMarket #Cadaques #CaialsBunker
