Barcelona Part Two

One of the things I just had to revisit in Barcelona was the Sagrada Familia. This Gaudi cathedral that seems to be the pride and joy of the city is spectacular in it's oddness and grandeur.



Each side is remarkably different in feel and style.



What I find to be the coolest part is that the cathedral is still being built. It's been in-progress since 1882 and it still has yet to be finished.



The very non-traditional stained glass.



The canopy of trees that comprise the main hall is just spectacular.



The best treat of all is taking the elevator up the spires to look out over the city and to peek at all of the details at the top.



And then you can take the spiral stairs down. Check out the hole in the middle of the staircase!



Our second day in Barcelona begun by taking the tram over the water to Montjuic, a green hill that juts out from the city.



Once on top we got a marvelous garden view overlooking the city.






We finished off our time in Barcelona with a lovely picnic in the park by the water. The produce was remarkable and was delightfuly accompanied by great wine and good music.
