Barca!So much to see, not near enough days. I could easily spend an entire week in Barcelona and still not see everything. Today a must see, Basilica de la Sagrada Familia. The last time I was here I only viewed the exterior, I did not go inside. This time I made sure we bought tickets to enter and it is as just beautiful inside as it is outside. The stain glass window colours are perfectly placed to coincide with the sun through the entire day. 

Construction started in 1866, Antoni Gaudi took over in 1883 to 1926 with an estimated completion date of 2026. I cannot wait to compare my pics from my last trip to see how far the exterior has come along. And maybe start planning my return trip after completion.

 Barca2026, who’s with me? 

After a walk through the the museum underground featuring sketches and the workshop, we walked to Park Guell to view the Casa Museu Gaudi. Gaudi was a man with a very unique vision for the 19th and early 20th centuries. Unfortunately, we did not get the opportunity to view the Gaudi monument as they sell only a select number of tickets per hour. A must do upon my return trip (mental note buy tickets online in advance for all Gaudi work). The park did offer amazing views of the city.

As the rain held off, we decided to walk back to the hotel with hopes to make our way past Casa Bastllo, which we found. Tomorrow on the hunt for Casa Calvet.  

Our tally for walking today is near 10 miles, luckily not once have I needed to wear the boot on the trip. If I keep shopping, it may or may not make it home in my luggage!
