Há várias maneiras de chegar a este parque, qualquer um dos bus turísticos param ali perto, de metro podem sair na estação de Lesseps ou de Vallscas, em qualquer das duas preparem-se para andar e subir muito. O morro tem umas escadas rolantes o que torna a coisa mais cómoda e sempre se conhece mais um bairro de Barcelona.

Chegamos ao Parque pela parte a Norte onde no topo encontramos uma cruz e em que a zona se torna num pequeno miradouro para ver não só a cidade de Barcelona com a Sagrada Familia e a Torre de Agbar a sobressair mas também o monte de Tibidabo onde está o “Sacrat Cor” e a roda gigante.
Podemos apreciar estas vistas com banda sonora, já que pelo parque estão espalhados inúmeros músicos a tocar, neste caso estávamos a ouvir jazz por dois músicos, um com uma guitarra e o outro com um saxofone.
We arrive at the park by the north part where we find a cross on top and at the area there is a small view point to see not only the city of Barcelona with the Sagrada Familia and the Agbar Tower but also Mount Tibidabo where the “Sacrat Cor” and the Ferris Wheel are.
We can enjoy these views with soundtrack, since scattered in the park there are numerous musicians playing in this case we were listening to jazz by two musicians, one with a guitar and the other with a saxophone.

Começámos a descer e até aqui, o Parque Güell parece o mais comum dos parques situados numa zona pulmão de uma qualquer cidade, até chegámos ao Miradouro e no meio de tanta gente conseguimos apreciar a qualidade arquitectónica do espaço que começa pela zona onde nos podemos sentar com os famosos azulejos partidos que são uma das imagens de marca de Gaudí. Esta é a zona da agitação, dos vendedores de pulseiras, de brinquedos para crianças e dos músicos que tocam agora outra música um pouco mais animada, creio que uma das que ouvi até era de Natal.
From there we descend to the room Hipóstila, whose columns are reminiscent of Greek or Roman temples. Güell’s intention was to make there a space for street trading, now used by musicians and some sellers of jewerly inspired by Gaudí art. Before we got there we found on the right side of the porch of the “Lavadeira” (washerwoman??). I confess that from enjoy so much the location I didn’t locate the “Lavadeira” at first glance, but after seeing the pictures there I found it in one of the columns.
Deste a praça central voltamos a ter vista priveligiada para Barcelona.
São fabulosos os bancos ondulantes que estão nesta praça, eu que estava cheia de dores nas costas encostei-me e fiquei relaxada, primeiro pela beleza delas e depois pela sua forma algo ergonómica que davam um bom apoio ás costas…parece que estou a vender cadeiras ergonómicas!
We began to descend and even here, the Park Güell seems the most common parks located in an area of any city, until we reached another viewpoint and in the midst of so many people we can appreciate the architectural quality of the space that begins in the zone where we can sit with the famous broken tiles that are one of the hallmarks of Gaudí. This is a busy area, the sellers of bracelets, children’s toys and other musicians who play music now a bit more lively, I think one of which was heard was about Christmas.
From this central square we have a privileged view to Barcelona.
The benches in this place are fabulous, I who was full of back pain layed back and got relaxed, first by their beauty and then for its ergonomic shape something that gave good support to my back … I seem to be selling ergonomic chairs!

Desta praça descemos até á Sala Hipóstila, cujas colunas fazem lembrar os templos gregos ou romanos. A intenção de Güell era fazer ali um espaço para o comércio de rua, hoje utilizado por músicos e alguns vendedores de bijuteria alusiva á arte de Gaudí. Antes de chegar encontramos ainda do lado direito o Pórtico da Lavadeira. Confesso que de tanto apreciar o local não foi logo á primeira vista que dei com a lavadeira, mas depois a ver as fotos lá a encontrei numa das colunas.

Nota importante para quando se visita qualquer edificio ou estrutura criada por Gaudí, olhar para cima! Muitas vezes os tectos são os irmãos discretos das paredes, mas Gaudí sabia adorná-los como ninguém, por isso quando andarem pela sala será dificil não olhar para cima, o tecto além do seu formato irregular, tem várias decorações.
Important note for when visiting any building or structure created by Gaudí, look up! Often the ceilings are brothers discrete walls, but he knew how to embellish them as no one else, so when you walk in the room it will be hard not to look up, the ceiling beyond its irregular shape, has several decorations.

A um Domingo os turistas ávidos por fotos do local cruzavam-se com os locais que o utilizam para passear ou para fazer “jogging”! Talvez por esse amontoado de gente eu não senti tanto o parque como deveria, chegava a ser stressante mas enfim…e mais ainda quando tentava tirar a foto a emblemática salamandra, é impossível…acho que teria que ir á primeira hora da manhã e bater em alguém para me deixar tirar uma foto á dita sem ter ninguém por trás, pelos lados, a pôr a mão, a encostar-se e muito mais…
On a Sunday tourists eager for pictures of the place intersected with the locals who use it for walks or to do jogging! Perhaps because of the crowd I did liked the park as I should, it was even stressful … and more so when trying to take a picture of the famous salamander, it is impossible … I think that I would go to the first hour of morning and beat someone to let me take a picture without having no one behind, the sides, putting his hand to touch up and more …

A entrada do Parque é o seu ponto mais fascinante, todo o trabalho que foi feito nos edificios, todos os seus pormenores, porque era nos detalhes que Gaudí se tornava ainda mais interessante. Uma simples grade de uma janela não era para ele algo tão simples, era um motivo para explorar, ir mais além, criar…aí estava o seu génio.
The entrance to the park its most fascinating, all the work that was done in buildings, every detail, because it was the details that Gaudí became even more interesting. A simple grid of a window was not for him something so simple, it was a reason to explore, to go further, creating … there was his genius.
As the park was donated by the family Guell (the main supporter and customer of Gaudí) to the city of Barcelona, the entry is free and maintenance is made by the Ayuntamiento of the city (City Council). They say that this park is born of a real estate “flop” by the investor Güell, he bought this land on a hill to sell properties but did not get buyers and the only person who really lived in that place was Gaudí himself. Nothing better for a lover of nature to build a park for the city …
Como o parque foi doado pela familia Guëll (o principal apoiante e cliente de Gaudí) á cidade de Barcelona, a sua entrada é gratuita e manutenção está a cargo do Ayuntamiento da cidade. Dizem que este Parque nasce de um “flop” imobiliário do investidor Güell, que comprou este terreno num morro para vender propriedades mas que acabou por não conseguir compradores e a única pessoa que realmente viveu naquele local foi o próprio Gaudí. Nada melhor para um apaixonado da natureza que construir um Parque para a cidade…
