"I learned to swim on dry Land" is an exhibition by the artist and essayist Coco Fusco, which explores the confrontation between art and power in post-revolutionary Cuba. Through poetry, performance, and activism, the exhibition recovers the voices of dissident creators such as Virgilio Piñera and Luis Manuel Otero Alcántara. With unpublished documentation and references to the U.S. and its policies, Fusco offers a reflection on language, censorship, and cultural resistance.

The grandeur and magic of the Sagrada Familia are enough to make you forget all your regrets. This forest-like structure, modeled after nature by Gaud&iacute;, is breathtaking both inside and out, absolutely worth the ticket price! The only pity was that we went on a cloudy day. The travel guides said that on a sunny afternoon around 4 pm, the light inside the church would be amazing, but unfortunately we didn&#39;t experience that. There were so many people! The queue at the entrance was incredibly long, and it was packed inside. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet in places like this to prevent theft!

Finally, a tip: the souvenir shop selling those viral fridge magnets is inside the church! We bought several, which was the biggest consolation for not seeing the sunshine.

In short, it&#39;s a divine place, just make sure to check the weather forecast before you go.

Tickets were issued via Ctrip in about ten minutes, and the price was the same as on the official website, which was quite convenient. Last year, on my first trip to Barcelona, ​​I prioritized visiting the places I most wanted to see within the limited time, so I skipped Park G&uuml;ell. This year, my cruise ship stopped in Barcelona for a day, so I decided to visit it. Tickets were still available at the entrance, and the ticket check didn&#39;t consider specific times or cruise schedules. For example, when we arrived at noon, the system showed only 3 PM tickets were available, but we were actually allowed in immediately.

Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of tourists, both local and out-of-town, making it very noisy. The ground was also mostly bare earth, and the wind whipped up dust, making for a poor experience. I think skipping it last time was the right decision. If you really want to come, just enter through the main entrance and visit the highlights; you can finish in about half an hour.

This should be a must-see for every tourist visiting Barcelona. It&#39;s about 500 meters from Casa Mil&agrave;, and the package ticket I bought on Ctrip was a great deal. In short, it&#39;s a must-see. A masterpiece of art, a genius of aesthetics...

Casa Mil&agrave;, located at the corner of Passeig de Gr&agrave;cia and Passeig de Provenca in Barcelona, ​​Spain, was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaud&iacute; between 1906 and 1912.

As Gaud&iacute;&#39;s last private residential project, Casa Mil&agrave; encapsulates the architectural language of his mature period and is a pinnacle of the Art Nouveau style&#39;s curvilinear aesthetic. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as a museum, it has become a pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and tourists worldwide.

Gaud&iacute; is a paragon of the organic integration of liberalism and modernism. He believed that &quot;straight lines belong to man, curves belong to God,&quot; and the design of Casa Mil&agrave; is entirely inspired by nature, imitating the forms of rocks, waves, and plants. The building&#39;s exterior, known as &quot;La Pedrera&quot; (meaning &quot;quarry&quot;), features an undulating, wave-like facade resembling a natural mountain, devoid of straight lines or right angles, presenting a sense of natural flow. Inside, the curves of the columns and staircases resemble tree trunks and caves, while the ceiling textures mimic leaf veins and ocean waves, conveying a tribute to the vitality of nature from the outside in.

The roof of Casa Mil&agrave; is the most iconic part of Gaud&iacute;&#39;s entire architectural work: 30 oddly shaped chimneys and vents exist like sculptures, some resembling warriors, others like monsters (I personally feel they look like some masks from Sanxingdui), perfectly combining functionality (smoke extraction, ventilation) with artistry. The undulating roof enhances the sculptural feel of the building, and standing on it offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

The entrance is small, in the city center. Be sure to get the audio guide first. Each painting has a story. I spent three hours looking at it carefully! You can walk to Casa Mil&agrave; and see the scenery of Barcelona along the way! It&#39;s a great time!
