At Home in the Modern World

Barcelona, Day Two

On our second day in Barcelona, fueled by café con leche and enough jamon to kill a horse, we excitedly settled into a breakneck tour of modern Catalan design and architecture. From Gaudi and Dali to Mariscal and Alvarez, our Barcelona education continues in earnest.

Our first stop of the day was El Palace Barcelona, a stately old structure built in 1919 as one of Spain's first Ritz hotels. We visited the Salvador Dali Suite, and where we were told he partied like a rock star for months at a time, even bringing a horse into the room at one point (don't ask).
