Y eso es lo que me ocurri\u00f3 tras leer \u201cLa clave Gaud\u00ed\u201d, de Esteban Mart\u00edn y Andreu Carranza.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">No voy a contaros la historia, tendr\u00e9is que leer el libro para saberla (y probablemente lo disfrut\u00e9is si os gustan los suced\u00e1neos de \u201cEl c\u00f3digo Da Vinci). Tan solo dir\u00e9 que el esp\u00edritu de la Barcelona de Gaud\u00ed parece ser uno m\u00e1s de los personajes de la historia. Apenas sab\u00eda de \u00e9l que comenz\u00f3 a construir la Sagrada Familia antes de mi lectura. Nunca me hab\u00eda interesado por \u00e9l, su vida o su arte. Pero eso cambi\u00f3 despu\u00e9s de leer la obra. Es lo mejor que obtuve de este libro.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Antoni Gaud\u00ed i Cornet (1852-1926), uno de los principales representantes del Art Nouveau en Espa\u00f1a, dise\u00f1\u00f3 y construy\u00f3 muchas fant\u00e1sticas y coloridas piezas arquitect\u00f3nicas en la ciudad condal. El parque G\u00fcell es solo uno de los muchos dise\u00f1os que realiz\u00f3 para la familia G\u00fcell. Es un fascinante escenario de jardines y formas arquitect\u00f3nicas sobredimensionadas m\u00e1s inspirado en la naturaleza que en la propia arquitectura. Casi se obsesion\u00f3 con reflejar la perfecci\u00f3n que encontraba en la naturaleza. Lleno de s\u00edmbolos, \u00e1rboles y hojas, sus senderos y viaductos conectan todo el parque. La entrada principal, el impresionante banco desde el que se ve la ciudad al completo, al igual que muchos de sus edificios, est\u00e1n hechos de trencad\u00eds (cer\u00e1mica troceada decorativa), que lo hace parecer un collage gigante, sencillamente maravilloso ahora con la luz oto\u00f1al.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">Y llegados a este punto, creo que me sentar\u00e9 un rato en el banco, y quiz\u00e1 otro d\u00eda demos un paseo por el resto de la Barcelona de Gaud\u00ed. \u00bfOs gustar\u00eda acompa\u00f1arme?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Parque G\u00fcell Barcelona\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MyLuPkDcq6Q?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>When I\u2019m reading a book, and I find an interesting description of a place, it makes me want to visit it. Sometimes I can, sometimes I can\u2019t, but I always try to look for some more information. And this is what happened after reading \u201cLa clave Gaud\u00ed\u201d by Esteban Mart\u00edn and Andreu Carranza.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not going to tell you the story, you\u2019ll have to read the book for that, (and you will probably enjoy it if you like \u201cThe Da Vinci Code\u201d substitutes). I will only say that the spirit of Gaudi&#8217;s Barcelona seems to be one more character in the plot. \u00a0I only knew he had started building the Sagrada Familia before my reading. I had never had any interest about him, his life or his art. But it all changed after reading this work. That&#8217;s the best thing I got from this book.<\/p>\n<p>Antoni Gaud\u00ed i Cornet (1852-1926), one main representative of the Art Nouveau in Spain, \u00a0designed and built many colourful and fantastic architectural pieces in the Condal city (nickname given to Barcelona). Parc G\u00fcell is only one of the many designs he made for the G\u00fcell family. It is a fascinating scenario of gardens and overdimensional architectonic forms more inspired by nature than by architecture itself. He became nearly obsessed to reflect the perfection he found in nature. Full of symbols, trees and leaves, its paths and viaducts connect the entire park. The main gate, the impressive bench from where you can see the whole city, as well as many of Gaudi&#8217;s buildings, are made of &#8220;trencadis&#8221; (decoration made with broken ceramic), that makes it look like a giant collage, simply stunning in the autumn light.<\/p>\n<p>I think I&#8217;ll sit down for a while on the bench, and maybe some other day we will take a walk through the rest of Gaudi&#8217;s Barcelona. Would you like to join me?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cuando estoy leyendo un libro, y encuentro una descripci\u00f3n interesante de alg\u00fan lugar, me hace desear visitarlo.
