Imagine that you live in an enormous, beautiful apartment designed by one of the world’s most admired architects in the most expensive street in Spain and for which you pay a derisory rent, with the right to live there until you die.
Meet the writer Ana Viladomiu, 70, one of two remaining tenants of Antoni Gaudí’s Casa Milà on the elegant Passeig de Gràcia in Barcelona. Although Ana Viladomiu is widely known and referred to in Spanish media as the last tenant of La Pedrera, there is in fact another resident who lives in the other half of the building, but as Viladomiu says, “we don’t share a lobby, elevator, or staircase; we only see each other when we take our dogs for walks”.
