Barcelona
Ah! Barcelona! So much to say... I would have to say, if you visit anywhere in Spain - and I mean anywhere - you would have to go to Barcelona. Just to visit though... I, myself, would never live there - too touristy. Touristy, for a good reason though. The famous architect, Gaudi, has decorated the city with his innovative and modern architecture. Including the Sagrada Familia, he was a number of other different buildings scattered around the city. This is the view from Park Guell where the architect lived the remainder of his life. Besides Gaudi, there's the Fountain, the Barcelona Cathedral, el Palau de la Musica Catalana, etc.
So, as far as Gaudi goes... I visited Park Guell, the Sagrada Familia, La Pedrera, Casa Amatiller and the Casa Batillo. In the following picture, there are various pictures of all of the places.
La Sagrada Familia:
And for the inside, I've made y'all a video:
Another really neat sight is the Barcelona Cathedral. Absolutely breathtaking. I honestly liked it more than the Sagrada Familia, but the indoor pictures definitely don't do it justice.
The next place is the Palau de la Musica Catalana. It's a magnificent concert hall, again with absolutely beautiful architecture and design.
The last place I'm going to show you is the fountain which is absolutely gorgeous. There are lights and music timed with the water so it's almost like a firework show, but with water.
In my opinion - not that y'all need it - if you ever traveled to Barcelona, go to the Barcelona Cathedral, Sagrada Familia and the Fountain. They were the top three and a close fourth would be the Palau.
Thanks for reading! Next Friday: San Sebastian, Spain and Biarritz, France! The one time I will be going outside of Spain during my trip to Spain, so tune in!
