One of Antoni Gaudí’s best kept secrets is the Crypt he designed for the Güell textile colony, which was built at the turn of the 19th century complete with factories, streets, housing, shops and school in Santa Coloma de Cervelló, just outside Barcelona.
The Crypt is considered one of the best examples of the Catalan architect’s early work, with its trencadissos. Declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2005, the Crypt and the Colony –also declared of national cultural interest- make a great trip out and are easily reached by train from Barcelona. Visitors get to explore the area with its modernista buildings and Interpretation Centre located inside a former workers’ cooperative.
You see how Colonia Güell came about and models of Gaudí’s church design for the area, which unfortunately never actually got built, as well as a wide variety of tourist services including guided tours, audio guides, dramatised tours, etc. and other general services, including rest areas, car and bus parking, etc.

Barcelona now boasts a Museum of Motorbikes, hardly surprising considering this city has the most motorbikes per capita in Europe.

Opened earlier this year, the museum features permanent and temporary exhibitions with over 70 bikes, both large cylinder and small. Amongst the showpieces in the current exhibition, visitors will find 70 designs that best represent brands from the 150-or-so manufactures that have had production operations in Catalonia at one time or another.

Come the weekend of October 22nd/23rd, Barcelona’s architectonic gems will open their doors to the public free of charge. The initiative, 48H Open House Barcelona, is now in its second consecutive edition and forms part of a wider project taking place in cities like London and New York. The idea is to make architecture more popular for the general public, and with more than 150 buildings participating organisers are expecting thousands to take part. The buildings have been chosen because of their design quality and architects, planners and users will be on hand to share their views with visitors. Included are emblematic city buildings and some more tucked away ones including a library, private houses, an office building, a hotel and group of historic buildings -some of these not open to the public during the rest of the year. This year’s programme will include l’Arc de Triomf and Torre d’Aigües de Catalana de Gas.
