Superando o Meu Medo das Alturas por Gaudí
[Quando estive nesta cidade incrível para o simpósio em 2013, na verdade senti falta de ver muitos edifícios realmente famosos. Por isso, quando voltei a Barcelona em Julho passado, fiz questão de visitar alguns dos ícones da arquitectura da cidade. Este esboço é um dos meus favoritos de [...].
