A morning light filters through umbrella pines as visitors arrive at the Gaudí Experience on Carrer de Larrard; the city of Barcelona unfurls below, tiles flashing like a held breath. The guided tour moves deliberately into the Monumental Zone, where undulating benches, mosaic salamanders and columns that mimic tree trunks make architecture feel alive.
