Spain, as a country, is full of great architectural history. For instance, Paramount Places is built on a lovely Catalan farm which has now been recreated into a fabulous holiday camping resort for families. The Catalan farm was established in 1908. While time has certainly taken a toll on this centrally located real estate property. The primary campgrounds owners, Vilanova Park, have managed to preserve a major portion of its original history - the original farmhouse. Incidentally, Paramount Places is actually located within the Vilanova Park campground, yet it operates as an individual and separate property while using the entirety of resort amenities at the same time. It is a unique situation in which all guests enjoy an all inclusive self-catering holiday. Even those who purchase a vacation and holiday unit receive the same membership privileges.

The architecture left behind by Anton Gaudi in Spain
Spain is the third most visited country in the world for many reasons.
One of the most innovative architects ever born, Anton Gaudi, left behind a number of now famous wonders of the building and construction trade world history has ever known. We have made an CAD Design in Portland Maine effort to bring Gaudi back to life and offer you information so that those interested can plan daily excursions to explore the beauty of his work.
Early Life
Anton Gaudi is a Spanish architect who is famous for his highly individualistic designs. Anton Gaudi belonged to the modernist movement and is classified with Gothicism and Surrealism. As a child Gaudi suffered from rheumatism and was rarely able to walk without relenting under severe pain. As a kid Gaudi never played with the other children and was always at home observing nature and its designs. This exposure to nature at an early age began to sharpen two of his greatest skills: observation and analysis of nature.
Gaudi studied architecture at the Escola Tècnica Superior d'Arquitectura in Barcelona. He was a mediocre student but achieved good grades in 'Trial drawings and projects'. As he took leave of his college, his mentor quipped - "who know if we have given this diploma to a nut or a genius, only time will tell".
Artistic technique
Anton Gaudi's first works were primarily Gothic and traditional Spanish architecture. Soon he crafted his own sculptural style. Eugene Viollet-le-duc was a major inspiration behind Anton Gaudi's work. Anton Gaudi soon overtook his master creating disturbingly irregular yet stunningly intricate works. Anton Gaudi took his inspiration from Nature and integrated fluidity of water, the parabolic arch and hyperboloid structures in his architecture.
