Lol - Not too many people would accuse Barcelona of having boring, bland buildings. Check out this photosphere from the area pictured (Casa Batlló, about halfway up the street that this slightly off-vertical in the aerial view.): https://www.google.co.nz/maps/place/Les Rambles, 08002 Barcelona, Spain/@41.391742,2.165172,3a,75y,278.22h,118.55t/data=!3m5!1e1!3m3!1sUCm0n8fjHB8AAAGu4o2fNw!2e0!3e11!4m2!3m1!1s0x12a4a258081714c9:0x24bef7ac8842bdc4
Yeah, that's the view from the street. From the air I don't see how you could not call it bland and boring- the buildings all look -exactly- the same. Like I said in my post, it probably looks better in person, and go figure, it does!
