These days with the majority of children confined because of the world "Coronavirus" crisis...we need to search deep down in our imagination to create new ways to make fun, share the time with our loving ones and learning new stuff to keep us in a positive way with hope during the period that our freedom has been taken away for the good of all.  Not time to party or to go in the open air, to hug your family, to go on holidays...but there is one thing no virus is abble to take away from us...our creativity and the possibility to enhance other abbilities we have.
So, my proposition for today, having a teenager at home is to go around Park Güell, one of the most visited spots in Bracelona.
Park Güell is an open air garden with 17ha, was born in 1900's with the purpose of been a privat neighborhood  with privat services inside as a market place, common gardens, events and meeting point and administration and security checkpoint...but what happened to this idea? it all end up in a non succes business closing in 1914's and converted in a Public Garden in 1926.

Let's start this visit ....do you accept the challenge? lets's find out the amazing Icons hidden all around Park Güell. I encourage you to search through internet images of Park Güell and send it to my email  whattodoincatalonia@gmail.com with the meaning, your questions and your suggestions...I'm going to give you some tips and see a few of the ones I founded...

1-There is an amazing corridor supported with double column gallery, where you can discover this image created with rocs of this Laundry lady...Could you tell me where to find it?
Also, this corridor is hidding a very spectacular shape of nature, take a trip on internet and find out what shape I'm talking about....
,2-The Column Room was created with several purposes...this is a very magical place and when you look around there are many interesting things to be discovered...actually we call it the 100 Columns room, but can you tell me if there are 100 at all? We also call that place the Hipostile room because in Greck lenguage it means Column :).
This area was going to be the private local market , the columns are supporting The Nature Square, and have you seen the big rounded mosaic decorating the ceiling..there are 4 big ones. What do they represent?

We could be talking about snakes, salamanders, elephants, or the GingerBread Houses...but I want you to delight me and I'm going to be waiting for your emails...

Let's travel together!
