Переглядів 593 роки тому
The Spanish potato omelet may seem like a pretty simple dish, but it is nothing of the sort. Entire treaties have been written in search of the best preparation and families have been driven apart after discussing about the right recipe or even if the inside of the omelet should be fully cooked or still runny. Spanish tortilla is to Spain what Margherita pizza is to Italy, it’s simple at the ba...

Wunderschön.Ein Genuß
The Spanish r just to good at this in my opinion the best !
🤩 *promosm*
I've been a few times to Barcelona in past. One of my favourite cities worldwide. What I've never really noticed was Gaudis mosaics even though I've visited all his masterpieces. Casa batalia? One of my favs...
Very interesting
Hi, thanks for the vid. I think Gaudi did not choose on purpose mosaics, but was rather obliged because of cut of budget due to a building that was not a appreciated by the population at that time. Right?
Yeah, he did not invent it.
He did not invent mosaic.
Yeah that half-assed made up legend exposes the tuber's huge historical and general ignorance. Gaudi was (I think) a 19th century Spanish architect. Mosaic has been done by humans since time immemorial throughout many ages and civilizations. Im sure there are many legends from different cultures as to the origins of this artwork. He could've bothered to do a little research-but why bother, lets just keep dumbing ourselves down!
what is up with the blank white spots? It's bad enough that things break over time, but Saudi's work is so amazing I don't even want to think about people who would come by a steal a chunk or it, or vandalize it. Every time I see this stuff it's just fascinating.
I am really curious as to where Gaudi got all those ceramic pieces, and how he managed them and sorted them and allocated them so brilliantly.
The ceramic came from defective lacquered tiles that could not be used in construction and would have been disposed. Then they broke them up and used the pieces.
What did Guadi used as a base?
