a barcelona classic, right on passeig de gracia. these are some of the sculptured chimneys on top of the roof. much of the building, including the attic and roof, are accessible, and a lot of the pretty rooms are filled with period furniture as it would have been seen in its time. there's a fee to get in, but if the sky is blue, it's worth it for the rooftop photo ops alone. too cheap? the awesome bookstore downstairs is free for all to access, but you should really head over to vinçon, a greeeaaattt store right nearby. the second story, which houses their furniture department, is in an old beautiful house with windows, ceilings, and stellar fireplaces all intact. even if you do make it into la pedrera (also known as casa mila), you should stop here after for a look around and a souvenir. their kitchen wares department is awesome. i came home with a pair of chick-shaped salt and pepper shakers, though the house-shaped incense burner they keep near the register was my favorite item in the place.
