La Casa Mila (nicknamed La Pedrera) is the last wonderful building that Gaudí designed. It is built between 1905 and 1910 and has beautiful ornamental balconies and an extraordinary chimneys. There may be long queues for the entrance and you may fiind the entrance fee steep.
So if you're not into a full guided tour, you can go into the exposition hall on the first floor. It shows expositions of contemporary artists and entrance is free. You get a good impression of the building too, although you miss the chimneys on the roof.
The museum in the attic provides interesting information about Gaudi and his methods of designing. The roof is fun to explore and offers great views of Passeig de Gracia. Best of all is the reconstructed Art Nuveau apartment on the top floor. The designs and furnishings are breathtakingly beautiful.
