Lesser known Gaudi works

Plaza Real is one of the monst popular places to go for a drink or some tapas as not only is it stunning architecturally, centrally located in the heart of the city but it also has a massive amount of history behind it. As Gaudi's work goes it is incredibly understated but it is often forgotten that he designed the lamposts.

Indeed they are not a integral part of the square, but as lamposts go they are very interesting, however there are many other reasons why you should visit Plaza Real, if not for the restaurants, nightclubs or bars. The lamposts were the first works Antonio Gaudi was comissioned to do and each one has a plaque on the floor with his name on it. On a sunny day this square is such a great place to have a bite to eat or sit on the fountain, and being literally on the ramblas you have no reason not to visit.
