La Pedrera — officially Casa Milà, though Barcelona has called it "the quarry" (La Pedrera) since it was built, for its raw, undulating stone façade — was completed between 1906 and 1912 for the industrialist Pere Milà and his wife. The design was controversial in its day for breaking so completely with conventional apartment-building style, and it's been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1984. Its rooftop is the real showstopper: 28 chimneys and ventilation towers, shaped like medieval helmets and covered in ceramic and broken glass, which the poet Pere Gimferrer nicknamed "the garden of warriors" for the way they stand over the stairwell exits like a silent guard.
Casa Vicens, by contrast, is Gaudí's first major completed commission — built between 1883 and 1885 for a stockbroker named Manuel Vicens, years before Gaudí developed the organic style he's best known for today. It belongs to his earlier "orientalist" period, drawing on Moorish and Mudéjar architecture alongside motifs borrowed from Persian, Indian, and Japanese art: exposed brick, horseshoe arches, and bands of colorful ceramic tile in checkerboard and floral patterns. It caused a genuine stir when it was built and, like La Pedrera, is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its own right.
This private tour threads together several of Gaudí's real, skip-the-line-accessible buildings in one outing — including a stop at the old Hospital de la Santa Creu, the public charity hospital where Gaudí, mistaken for a beggar after a tram accident due to his unkempt appearance, was taken and died three days later in 1926.
