Indeed, Spain is considered one of the major tourist haven in Europe and in the world.

Spain is also very famous for the fascinating architectural combination that it has, from the modern, futuristic kinds of building to the classical designs; some architects that have been regarded as illustrious in this field include Frank Gehry and Juan de Villanueva. For example, a famous Canadian architect known by the name Frank Gehry designed the iconic Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao which is touted as one of the best post-structuralist designs internationally. The apparently random movement of shapes and patterns of the design actually does serve a purpose, which is to get the most out of the light that goes inside the museum.
Guell Park is another famous landmark; this was commissioned by a noble master in his field by the name of Eusebi Guell with the purpose of building something like a cool place to hang out exclusively for the aristocratic families that lived in Barcelona during that period. During the time of its construction, it was really commissioned by Eusebi Guell who is interested to come up with a fashionable arena for the aristocratic families of Barcelona to be able to stroll in. Antonio Gaudi was commissioned by Eusebi Guell to design a park that will serve as a place where the elite residents of Barcelona can come to stroll around; many features of that park still holds the fascination of architectural admirers until today.
