I visited it again for the second time in March 2012 hoping to get a temporary job in Madrid. That job did not materialized. It is a long story and I will try to share it next time. While staying in Spain's capital city for almost three weeks, I did some sidetrips to Avila, Guadalajara, Alcala de Henares, Aranjuez and El Escorial. During my stay there, I also had the chance to visit most corners of the city.I will never get lost in Madrid because this is the only city in Europe where I explored most.
My visit in Spain happened for the third time. Last summer 2012 in July, my friends invited me for a bus trip from Germany to Catalonia's capital city. It was a very exhausting long long trip but we enjoyed it a lot. To make the story short, I finally visited Barcelona.

One of the sights we visited is Park Güell. It is located on the hill of El Carmel in the Gracia district of Barcelona. The famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi designed and built it from 1900 to 1914.
We had a walk around the park. The weather was quite hot that time despite being cloudy. I was informed that the best time to visit Barcelona is during autumn season, in October or November. During our walk, I saw the Gaudi House Museum, the dragon or salamander mosaic at the entrance of the park, the viaduct, colonnade partway, mosaic on the ceiling of Hypostyle Room and the pavilion at the entrance.
Park Güell or Parc Güell in Catalan is not listed in the UNESCO World Heritage Sites under "Works of Antoni Gaudi. I still wish to visit this park again.
