Introduction

Casa Mila and Casa Batlló stand shoulder to shoulder on Passeig de Gracia, Gaudi's twin gifts to Barcelona and the stars of the famous Illa de la Discòrdia, where four modernista masters compete on one block. Casa Mila, nicknamed La Pedrera and completed in 1912, enchants with its undulating stone facade and rooftop chimneys resembling helmeted warriors; Casa Batlló wears a dragon-back roof of coloured tiles and a facade awash in marine imagery. Both are UNESCO-listed and open as museums, their rooftops and light wells the showstoppers. Book timed tickets for each, then stroll the avenue to feel the city's modernista pulse.
