    Sagrada Familia

    The rain finally stopped at 2pm, by which time we had taken the metro to Sagrada Familia and found a spot to shelter and have lunch before our tour of the famous church.
    More stunning architecture, the largest unfinished catholic church in the world! This was designed by Antoni Gaudi, started in 1882, expected to be completed in 2035, despite what Google says! Relying solely on private donations and income from tourists.

    Just stunning, so much to see on the outside it’s mind boggling!!    Read more
