A local would say...

Gaudí's failed housing estate became Barcelona's most magical park — nature fused with surreal architecture

Where Gaudí turned his hand to landscape gardening. It's a strange, enchanting place where his passion for natural forms really took flight — to the point where the artificial almost seems more natural than the natural. A forest of 88 stone columns leans like mighty trees, the mosaic-covered Banc de Trencadís snakes around the terrace, and the views from the cross-topped Turó del Calvari are the best in Barcelona.
