Casa Mila<\/a><\/strong>, also known as La Pedrera, is sometimes overshadowed by Gaud\u00ed’s more famous projects like La Sagrada Familia<\/a><\/strong> or Casa Batll\u00f3. If you’re on the fence about whether or not Casa Mila is worth visiting, I say it’s a cant-miss in Barcelona.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ll be totally honest: my family had already been planning on visiting the famous Casa Batll\u00f3 before we even arrived in Barcelona, but we weren’t too sure whether or not we wanted to visit Casa Mila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not that we thought badly of Casa Mila, we just weren’t aware of its… existence. (Hides face in embarrassment.) Casa Mila is not nearly as famous as Casa Batll\u00f3, especially to foreign tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After some hesitation, my family ultimately decided to tour Casa Mila because after La Sagrada Familia and Casa Batll\u00f3, we couldn’t get enough of Gaud\u00ed’s creativity and we wanted to visit all of his most significant works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this overview post on my blog, I’ll share my first-hand experience after touring Casa Mila in Barcelona and share with you a glimpse into what you can expect to see there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nature was Gaud\u00ed’s source of inspiration for his Casa Mil\u00e0 masterpiece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This was one of the aspects I enjoyed the most about Casa Mila while interpreting his architectural design decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The alternative name “La Pedrera” means “the stone building” as it resembles a stone quarry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was later named after the Mila Family, the original owners of the building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Included in the price of admission is a free audio guide. I recommend following along with it, you can learn a lot about your surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Haha, yes, we took an audio guide “selfie” together at each of the Gaud\u00ed attractions we visited.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
