Casa Macayo

This building is an attraction for tourists really interested in architecture. It is situated on Passeig de St. Joan in Barcelona, between Diagonal and Provença. I would not have noticed it if it were not for the tourists who come and try to take a picture of it. One cannot take a picture of it standing directly in front of the building, so people try from the middle of the walking area (“passeig” is an especially broad avenue with wide sidewalks or a middlewalk). There they realize that there is a playground in front of it – that is where I sit and watch. Now they have to make a choice: they either accept the playground on the picture, or they walk inside the gated playground and take their picture of the building with only a few trees in front of it. Because a lot of them walk inside I have come to notice the importance of Casa Macayo. You can probably find it on the web, surely in Google’s Streetview.
