第25章 欧洲——享受最惊艳的视觉盛宴(11)

Park Guell

In 1900, Earl Guell commissioned Gaudi to design a middle-class suburban residential area. The location was in the northern outskirts of Barcelona. The plans did not be realized, but a park was built instead. The park is just Park Guell.

Gaudi designed the two buildings for the guard and the office at the entrance of the park. Into the park, there is a big step of a unique shape, and then a great hypostyle hall, and the theater of ancient Greek-style is behind it. The big step continues to lead the people onto the platform of the roof of the great hypostyle hall. The platform is broad, about thirty meters in width and depth. It is a good place for resting, gathering, walking and dancing.

The buildings in Park Guell are representative of Gaudi"s creative career. The strange small towers, the regular columns, and the winding patterns, express fully his aesthetic ideas.

Columbus Monument

The Columbus monument stands highly on the main pedestrian street at the end of Rambla Street, to commemorate the navigator who discovered America. To some extent, this discovery opened a Spanish colonial rule in South America. Now a large number of South American immigrants speak in Spanish and come here to open another reincarnation of the history.

Gold Coast

It is said that if there is a heaven attracting the eyes of the men, it must be Barcelona. In the southern European resort, the beaches packed with bikini girls are the most popular places. Catalan girls seem to be born with all the essential elements of female beauty, in addition, they also have the unique Catalan national passion. Their beauty is filled with vitality and joyment.

The long coastline is covered with a unique and colorful stone pavement. The pavement and the beautiful blue sea are separated only by a romantic and charming golden beach of more than 10 meters wide. There are a pair of stone seats facing the sea only for the lovers in every section of the road. Those show the tender love of Barcelona people besides the passion of them.

The golden beaches, white waves, sea green and deep blue sea can make you vibrated with the waves, and open-minded with the sea color. The beautiful scenery is in the sunset, and the warm and wet wind is blowing your face. All that can make you reluctant to leave.

圣家赎罪堂

它是巴塞罗那的标志性建筑,也是著名建筑师高迪的代表作。

教堂共设有三座宏伟的立面:诞生、死亡和荣耀。《圣经》中的各个场景在整个建筑中如同图画一样逐幅展现,栩栩如生。在高迪世俗建筑中起到非常重要作用的光线在这里有了象征的意义,东方是太阳升起的地方,也是人们接受第一缕阳光和象征获得拯救的起始点。

由于重重原因,圣家赎罪堂至今尚未完工,不过,巴塞罗那人早已认同它。

毕加索博物馆

毕加索博物馆藏有毕加索蓝色时期的主要作品。他是从这里走向世界的。毕加索和画家达利,建筑怪才高迪和米罗,都是巴塞罗那引以自豪的艺术巨匠。

奥运村及奥运会主体育场

1992年的奥运会让巴塞罗那的城市建设迅速发展,也为她带来了每年近5,000万的游客。可以说奥运会改变了巴塞罗那。奥运村是全市的最高建筑物,因为临近海边,风景优美,现在已经成了巴塞罗那一景。当年的主体育场也是游客们必去的地方,体育场可容纳7万人,共两层看台,到这里参观的时候或许你还会想起当年精彩的赛事。

奎尔公园

1900年,奎尔伯爵委托高迪设计一个中产阶级的市郊住宅区,地点在当时巴塞罗那市区北郊。这个住宅区计划没有实现,却建成了一个公园,那就是奎尔公园。

公园入口处有高迪设计的门卫和办公用的两层小楼。进园之后,一条造型别致的大台阶把人引向一个多柱大厅,大厅后面接着古希腊式的剧场。大台阶又继续把人引上多柱大厅上的屋顶平台。平台广阔,宽深各约三十多米,周围有矮墙和坐椅,是游人游憩、聚会、散步和跳舞的好去处。

奎尔公园中的建筑是高迪创作生涯成熟时期的代表作,怪异的小塔和规整的柱子以及蜿蜒曲折的图案,完全充分地表现了他的美学思想。

哥伦布塔

哥伦布纪念塔高高耸立在最主要的步行街兰布拉大街的尽头,纪念这位发现美洲大陆的航海家。从某种程度来说,这一发现拉开了西班牙对南美殖民统治的开始,如今,大批的南美移民讲着西班牙语又来到这里,开始了又一个历史的轮回。

黄金海岸

有人说,如果世界上有一个吸引男人眼球的天堂,那一定是巴塞罗那。在这个南欧度假胜地,挤满比基尼女郎的海滩是最让人留恋的地方。加泰罗尼亚的姑娘似乎天生就具有了所有女性美丽的必备要素,此外,她们还拥有加泰罗尼亚民族特有的热情奔放,她们的美是一种洋溢着活力和快乐的美。

长长的海岸线铺着一条别具一格的彩色石板人行路,与惹人心醉的蓝色海洋仅隔一条十几米宽、浪漫迷人的金色沙滩。每隔一段路都有仅供情侣两人面向大海的石头座椅,凸现了巴塞罗那人激情之外的柔情似水。

金黄色的沙滩、白色的波浪,绿色的海水、深蓝色的海洋,心潮随着海浪起伏,视线随着海色展开,夕阳慷慨地抚摩着这片景色,温暖的、湿润的海风吹在脸上,让人久久地不忍离去。

The Legendary Attractions about Love 与爱有关的传奇景点

On the Sensors Square in Barcelona there is a music fountain, called Kana Le fountain. According to legend, if you drink spring water of Kana Le fountain, perhaps one day, and you will be able to return to Barcelona with your lover to continue your trip to Spain. This is the agreement with God.

There is a St. Pons church in the outskirts of Barcelona, which carries a beautiful legend. In the legend, it was a temple of love. The angel in charge of human love is guarding the church. She really wishes the lovers who come in the temple. When they set a lifetime contract of love with the God, they will be forever engraved with the symbol of love and protect their oath of "hold hands and grow old together with each other".

在巴塞罗那的圣尔威斯广场上有一座音乐喷泉,叫做卡纳勒喷泉。传说中,如果你喝了卡纳勒喷泉的泉水,有朝一日,一定能和心爱的人一起重返巴萨罗那,继续你的西班牙之旅。这是与神的约定。

而在巴塞罗那的郊外有一座圣·庞斯教堂,它承载着一个令人向往的美好传说,传说中,那是个爱情圣殿,掌管着人间爱情的天使守护着这个教堂,她会真心地祝福来到这个爱情圣殿的情侣,在那里结成连理的恋人,在他们彼此和上帝定下终生相爱契约的那一瞬间,会被永远地刻上爱情的记号,共同守护着“执子之手与子偕老”的爱情誓言。
