The complete Gaudí
The Gaudí circuit goes far beyond the Sagrada Família and Park Güell: early palaces, lesser houses and a workshop pavilion explaining the whole architect, with fewer queues and more revelations.

The lesser-known ones
Palau Güell beside La Rambla is the urban palace of iron and paraboloid; Casa Vicens in Gràcia, his first house; Torre Bellesguard, his reinterpreted Gothic castle. Three jewels with calm entry.
The chronological order
Seeing Palau Güell and Vicens first illuminates the mature Pedrera afterward: the young man learning, the master in command. A full day of minor Gaudí at dawn and major at close.
The pavilion and the crypts
The Finca Güell pavilion and the Colònia Güell crypt — on the outskirts, combinable in half a day — show the pure structural Gaudí engineers study. For the serious fan, the complete pilgrimage.
