We will see Barcelona&#8217;s finest modernist buildings. Paseo de Gracia was the place moneyed bourgeois families chose to live. They had a kind of competition to show who had the most beautiful building. They constructed imposing buildings that continue to delight everyone who passes by. These jewels of Catalonia&#8217;s home-grown art nouveau, modernisme, were created by architects of the calibre of Antoni Gaud\u00ed (La Pedrera and the Casa Batll\u00f3), Josep Puig i Cadafalch (Casa Amatller), and Llu\u00eds Dom\u00e8nech i Muntaner (Casa Lle\u00f3 Morera), to name just three.\u00a0 On the pavement we can see the organic paving stones designed by Gaud\u00ed, and along the boulevard are the streetlamps by Pere Falqu\u00e9s, with their white-mosaic benches. The architectural jewels stand side by side with some of Barcelona&#8217;s most prestigious shops.
