Its main avenues are the <strong>Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes</strong>, the <strong>Avinguda Diagonal</strong>, and the <strong>Passeig de Gràcia</strong>, which in addition to being lined cafés, restaurants, and mostly high-end retailers and galleries is also home to some gems of Catalan <em>modernisme</em> (Art Nouveau) - in particular the 1906 apartment building <a href="https://www.lapedrera.com/en" target="_blank"><strong>Casa Milà</strong> (aka <strong>La Pedrera</strong>)</a> and the 1904 <strong><a href="https://www.casabatllo.es/en/" target="_blank">Casa Batlló</a></strong> (pictured here).

That’s where you´ll find most the delights of this town of around 2,800, a drive of some 2½ hours south from New York City and just under two hours from <strong>Philadelphia</strong>. The <strong>United States</strong>´ oldest seashore resort, has been catering to vacationers since pre-Revolutionary days, although there were probably a lot fewer T-shirt shops at the time. There's evidence that even earlier "tourists" in the form of the nearby Kechemeche tribe came there in summer to hunt and fish. Later, the shady tree-lined streets and colorful homes of Cape May became the playground of 19th- and early-20th-century presidents including <strong>Ulysses S. Grant</strong>, <strong>Franklin Pierce</strong>, <strong>James Buchanan</strong>, <strong>Chester Arthur</strong>, and <strong>Benjamin Harrison</strong>, who sought refuge there from the humidity of <strong>Washington DC</strong> summers. Not bad references!</p>
<p>Although this delightful town grew beyond its colonial trappings, it instead became stuck in the late-19th-century Victorian era, when it was rebuilt after being destroyed by fire for the third time. And thankfully it stopped there, leaving Cape May with more than 600 houses and other structures (most of which have been refurbished), leading it to be designated a National Landmark City - the only one in the <strong>United States</strong> to be wholly designated as a national historic district. Hard to compete with that. <br /> <br /> Street after street -- house after house -- enchants, charms and captivates visitors intrigued by the intricate detail that distinguishes one from the other. Despite the similarity in architectural style, there is infinite variety in their beautiful presentations."</p>

Starting in eastern Germany - first in <strong>Dessau</strong> (pictured here), then in <strong>Weimar</strong>, and finally a third school in <strong>Berlin</strong> - this school's aesthetic and philosophy had a huge impact on the arts, design (especially furniture and household objects), and architecture not just in <strong>Germany</strong> but the rest of <strong>Europe</strong> and beyond - and one whose impact is still felt a century later.</p>
<p>Sadly, the increasingly ascendant <strong>Nazis </strong>viewed its work as "degenerate art", and the last school was finally shut down in 1933, though acolytes then became successful in spreading Bauhaus design beyond Germany's borders (three masterful examples being <strong>Wassily Kandinsky</strong>, <strong>Paul Klee</strong>, and<strong> Mies Van der Rohe</strong>). Now in 2019, the various organisations and tourism boards are pulling out all the stops to celebrate the many extant examples of Bauhaus (whose major locations are now collectively a <strong>UNESCO World Heritage Site</strong>), and to promote a yearlong programme of events surrounding it.</p>
