Stillwater Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 There were too many pictures to upload them with imgur in the first post... ... so I owe you the rest. Here you are. Starting over the beautiful Barri Gothic and the cathedral... ... over the Placa de Catalunya, where the limits of photoreal ground come up when flying at such a low altitude. Up the Rambla de Catalunya to some of Gaudis most famous houses. This is the Casa Milà, it is known as "Pedrera" (english: quarry) because of its amazingly chaotic decoration. Maybe a POI that should get an upgrade in the next Cityscene version. A work in progress that everybody knows, I think. Now up to the Parc Guell... ... and finally back to the airport. We can see not only the overall impression of the city is nearly perfect, also many POIs are already suited for holiday preparation. I love that!

Jack Sawyer Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Very good Gerold! But that work in progress you mentioned. Is that something they poured like concrete to carve or is it like stone they're going to carve? Or is it "melted"? It looks very interesting.

In fact I do not know how they are building it, but it just takes as long as the medieval cathedral projects did. And I know who is paying it: The tourists that visit it.

Captain Lars Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Very good, Gerold. I see a lot has been been done in CityScene Barcelona. Tbh, I'm not a big of Gaudi's architecture, but it is a fascinating place nonetheless. Thank you for taking us along. 3 hours ago, Jack Sawyer said: Very good Gerold!

It was melted by Dragonfire, of course!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodger Pettichord Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 Hey Gerold. Another of your excellent tours. Barcelona always has seemed to me to be a haven for a wonderful quirkiness. Not just the architecture but the whole sense of acceptance of things different. Haven't been there, so can't say with authority, but that's always been my impression. Anyway, thanks!

Do you see a chance to ever spend southern Europe a visit? If so, ask the Orbx community where you should go, and the travel will be planned quickly!
