🧔 Antoni Gaudí
June 2026 marks the centenary of the death of Antoni Gaudí, the visionary architect behind some of Spain’s most famous landmarks, including the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona.
Throughout the year, Catalonia will celebrate “Gaudí Year 2026” with exhibitions, concerts and cultural events dedicated to his extraordinary legacy and unique architectural style inspired by nature.
It’s the perfect opportunity to discover more about one of the most influential figures in Spanish culture.

¿Conoces esta expresión?
“¡Qué arte tiene!”
It doesn’t literally mean “what art he/she has,” but more like:
“They’ve got something special.”
“They’ve got real flair”
“So much style”
“What talent”
We use it a lot in Spain (especially in Andalusia) in situations like: when someone dances well, dresses with personality, cooks creatively, is really funny, or just has that effortless charm.
¡Qué arte tiene!
They’ve got real flair / They’ve got something special
– ¡Qué arte tiene esta niña! ¡Cómo baila!
This girl has such flair! Look at the way she dances!
– ¡Qué arte tienes cocinando! Todo te sale buenísimo.
You’ve got a real talent for cooking! Everything you make is delicious.
