PHOTOS BY MIQUEL BADIA _In Barcelona: 50 wonders of Catalan art nouveau_ the reader can stroll from the Sagrada Família and Güell Park to private houses like La Pedrera, the Güell Palace or the Batlló and Amatller houses, passing factories, hospitals, churches and schools that modernised the capital of Catalonia, blending beauty and functionality. Undulating facades, muses calling from walls, spectacular roofs shining in the sun, streetlamps, benches, gates, parks and amazingly attractive monuments beautified the city of 1900. In the 21st century, Barcelona is Modernista still, with all the symbols of identity you will find described in Tate Cabré's texts and captured in Miquel Badia's magnificent photographs.
