Hello!
I'm Amber, a female traveler from the Netherlands with a deep curiosity for the world and a camera to capture it. For me, travel isn't just about the destination, but more about the journey and the beauty of the place. I’m always drawn to beautifully designed buildings, long train rides, cozy mornings, and an inspiring hike.
MORE ABOUT ME
Casa amatller
Casa Amatller, left from Casa Batllo, is a marvel of Catalan Modernism. It's a stunning townhouse, designed by Josep Puig i Cadafalch. It's known for its unique Flemish-inspired stepped gable. It's so eassily overlooked, as it's right enxt to the famaus casa Batllo. You don't have to go inside, but just take a step to the left, and take in the beautiful colors.

Casa Homet
Casa Homet is one of those buildings you would walk right past, but once you stop and have a closer look you'll see the detailed window frames and intricate iron details on the overhanging facade. The pastels and bright colors make it stand out even more.

Casa Bruno Cuadros
On the Ramblas, there is a very unique building to be found. The umbrealla store and the facade were both renovated in 1883, in a orientalist style with CHiense and Egyptian refrences. My favorite part is the dragon; I love dragons. It's a wrought iron dragon, and serves as advertisments for the umbrella store, below.
Cases ramos
Cases Ramos is a 5 stroy building from 1906. It's stands out due to it's bee-like details infront of the windows. At first glance, I thought that they were butterflies, most likely because some balconies had the Catalonian flags haning on their balconies that also reminded me of butterflies.

Casa comalat
Casa Comalart is one of those buildings thats just different. It has two completly different facades, the main one is elegant and restrained, and the rear facade is colorful and a modernistic. It is know for it's bold personality and spirit since the early 20th-century.
Unfortnnetly one of the facades is mainly hidden behind a tree, but with setting a step closer, you can see the beautiful swirls and flower details around the doors and windows.
palau del baro de quadras
When i first saw this building, it gave a orientalist vibe, with it's wooden roof extension and ornate carved out structures in the facade. The windows all on a row just looked so neat, and cute. But as most buildings in Barcelona, it is Modernistic. The building has floral motifs along the balconies and the doors.
