Is Park Güell worth it solo?

Up close, the place is stranger and more architectural than the usual dragon photograph suggests. Broken tile wraps the long bench, columns lean like tree trunks and the gatehouses turn a failed housing development into a convincing piece of theatre. The pleasure drops quickly once the terrace fills, and the uphill approaches are less charming in full heat. Ninety focused minutes is usually enough.
