On our first day in Barcelona we visited Park Güell. This was sketched after our walk through the park. At the main entrance there are two buildings that form the porter’s lodge – the one I sketched (to the right as you face the entrance from outside the park) was used as the porter’s residence. The roof was built with traditional Catalan clay tiles covered with “trencadís”, a mosaic made of tile shards. To me it looks like a giant iced cake!
