Casa Vicens with a guide: Gaudí before he became Gaudí

Before the Sagrada Família, Park Güell, and Casa Batlló, Antoni Gaudí was a young architect trying to get commissioned for something. Casa Vicens was that first important commission. With it, a wave began that would eventually spread throughout Europe, and with it, he made a name for himself in Barcelona. The guided tour is what really brings it to life: without someone to point it out, it's hard to see how much of what Gaudí would later create was already being experimented with here. It receives far fewer visitors than his later works, even though it has nothing to be envious of. A note about reservations: you can cancel up to the time slot you selected.
