Girona has a bridge built by Gustave Eiffel, and almost nobody outside Spain knows it exists.

The Pont de les Peixateries Velles (Old Fish Market Bridge) spans the Onyar River right in the heart of Girona, a medieval city about an hour north of Barcelona. Eiffel's company completed it in 1877, more than a decade before they broke ground on the Paris tower. Same red iron lattice. Same riveted framework. A warm-up act that ended up becoming a landmark in its own right.

The name comes from the fish markets that used to line the riverbank nearby. For centuries, this stretch of the Onyar was a working, noisy, commercial part of the city. The bridge was built to connect the old town with the Mercadal neighborhood on the other side, not as a monument, just as a practical crossing.

There is a small detail most visitors never hear. The project ran over budget and over schedule. Floods in France had delayed the delivery of the iron materials. When the city complained, the Eiffel company offered a gesture: they installed the bridge's street lamps at no charge.

The bridge was restored in 2008 and is open around the clock, free to walk across.

POV: Spain takes eating seriously 🇪🇸

One thing I noticed after moving to Spain 🇪🇸

Meals here aren’t treated like a quick task between errands.

People stay longer. Talk longer. Sit longer. Markets are full. Terraces are full. Lunch can easily turn into an entire afternoon.

Eating here feels more like a daily ritual than a schedule.

Could you adapt to this lifestyle? 👀👇

One of the few places on land where it will be possible to see August's total solar eclipse is Spain's Basque Country, with cities situated along the path of totality. Beyond the eclipse, the region blends medieval streets and contemporary landmarks with a celebrated food culture and seaside spots worth experiencing year-round.

What you're looking at took 144 years to finish.

The nave of the Sagrada Família in Barcelona stretches 147 feet (45 meters) into the air. No flying buttresses. No external props holding it up from outside. Every bit of that load is carried internally, through columns that branch out exactly like the fork of a tree.

That wasn't an accident. Antoni Gaudí studied Gothic cathedrals deeply, then threw out the rulebook. He used different types of stone for each column depending on how much weight it had to bear. The heaviest columns, at the crossing of the nave and transept, are made of red porphyry, one of the hardest stones used in construction. The lighter ones near the side aisles are sandstone.

He also capped the entire building at 172.5 meters. On purpose. One meter shorter than the Montjuïc hill overlooking the city. Gaudí believed that human construction should never exceed the height of God's creation.

Construction started in 1882. The central tower was completed in February 2026, 100 years after Gaudí's death.

They were just chimneys.

Gaudí built them to ventilate the coal-fired heating of a luxury apartment building on Passeig de Gràcia. But he turned 29 smoke flues into something no one had ever seen before — twisted helmeted figures standing guard over the Barcelona skyline. Locals nicknamed the rooftop "the Garden of Warriors," a phrase borrowed from Catalan poet Pere Gimferrer.

Gaudí recycled waste glass and ceramic for the chimneys' surfaces, including fragments of dark green champagne bottles. The chimneys are grouped in sets of two, five, or seven, and the only group with trencadís mosaic is covered with those broken green bottle fragments.

The building itself was just as radical. Casa Milà has not a single load-bearing wall — the entire structure stands on columns and open spaces, a technique that felt more like the 21st century than 1906.

The Star Wars connection? George Lucas never officially confirmed it, but many art experts and fans have long pointed to the similarity between these chimney helmets and the imperial stormtrooper design. Judge for yourself.

La Pedrera was completed in 1912 and declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.
