Barcelona....si, si!

Barcelona was, by far, our FAVOURITE place on our trip! A city where beach meets metropolitan, where traditional meets contemporary.  We loved the sights, sounds and people, who were ever so friendly and beautiful.

View outside out hotel room...

Yummy tapas and sangria...

Pointing us in the right direction...

Spain won La Liga when we were there and a riot is how they celebrated...

The Casa Batllo - a wonderful Gaudi design...

Church on the walk to Sagrada Familia...

And finally, the Sagrida Familia - another magnificent Gaudi design.  Under construction since 1882, its completed construction date is estimated to be 2026. We considered ourselves lucky to see this monument in its construction and hope to make it back after the construction is complete.

The towers...

A part of the exterior wall...waiting to go up the towers.

Going up one of the towers...

Looking down the tower...eek!

Only one way down the tower...walking down the narrow, narrow winding stairs. I have to admit, we were a little freaked out.

Beautiful stained glass on the inside...

More architecture...

This was the first facade Gaudi started...

That night we went to see some authentic Flamenco dancing - amazing!!!

So beautiful...

Hope you enjoyed Barcelona...next up...Venezia!

Till next time,
