Curious Barcelona

Season 5 Episode 505 | 27m 34s

Who designed a drippy, wacky & wonderful icon? What is happening on Casa Milà's rooftop? Where did Columbus meet the King & Queen of Spain upon returning from the Americas? Why won’t you find any street corners in the Eixample neighborhood? When was the Bishop’s Bridge built in the Gothic Quarter? How did a Roman & Moorish arch greet visitors in 1888? It’s time to get ‘curiositat’ about Barcelona!
