Look up! #1 Barcelona
While walking in Barcelona you just need to look up a little bit and enjoy the hidden gems you can find in its facades, main doors, frames and windows. The hidden gem shown in the picture is to the left of “Palau Macaya’s” main door. It shows the figure of a cyclist and hides a beautiful story. It was a gift from the sculptor to the architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch who was, at he same time, building another art nouveau building (“Casa Ametller”) and used to ride from one construction site to the other on a bicycle.
