Had a fabulous time here, huge city. A city with extreme architecture as you will see. Very different, I didn�t realise I was so far north they actually spoke Catalan as their first language but also Castelan.
Enjoy this trip with me.....I have a lot, bear with me whilst I post One of the Human Statues, pay her some money and she moves [ATTACH=CONFIG]172260[/ATTACH] some more, the headless man on the right was hilarious [ATTACH=CONFIG]172261[/ATTACH] Scary when you had your photo taken those wings moved and engulfed you [ATTACH=CONFIG]172262[/ATTACH] |

more this is the Sagrada Familia Building started in 1904 or thereabouts but never finished. Goudi was killed in an accident and it was never finished. when Franco came to power he had the plans destroyed. However several years ago some older drawings were discovered so they are now in the process of rebuilding.
Third picture is another Goudi building. No building was every square everything is rounded. The balconies on this building were taken from the form of Seaweed Sagrada Familia Church [ATTACH=CONFIG]172265[/ATTACH] Took a tour in the open top bus [ATTACH=CONFIG]172266[/ATTACH] Another Goudi building [ATTACH=CONFIG]172267[/ATTACH] |

We toured Barcelona in the hop-on hop-off bus, too, with the open top. I did not get any pictures this good of La Sagrada Familia. I just love that building and loved Barcelona. I want to go back and spend some more time there... We only got to spend 2 days there... I'd like to see a lot more of Gaudi's works.
