Went a few years back, I wasn't overwhelmed....

oddly enough because I had always wanted to see it and my theory being I had seen so many pictures of it that nothing was new and different. Still I would give it another shot, I think. Maybe I was just having a bad day. But, I love Gaudi, went to his home down by somewhere and loved all the colorful chimneys on top and a lot of maybe more sedate but Gaudiesque features. Go figure. If I ever get back, I will certainly visit Park Guell and stuff and there are other Gaudi buildings around town.

Yeah, his creativity is definitely other worldly.

I’ve never seen the working drawings. Am sure they exist

Unfortunately, many of his drawings were destroyed in 1936.
