      La Sagrada Familia

      28 Desember 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 17 °C

      ... vom Park Güell sprangen wir wieder in die U-Bahn und fuhren zur Sagrada Familia.
      Wow - schon von aussen so ein beeindruckendes Gebäude,bei dem man Stunden verbringen könnte und immer wieder neues entdecken kann.
      Vor ein paar Tagen hatten wir unseren Karten schon gekauft, so dass wir ganz unkompliziert durch die Sicherheitskontrollen und die Audioführung beginnen konnten.
      Überwältigend ist jedoch nicht nur die Fassade, der von Antoni Gaudi entworfenen Kirche, sondern auch das Innere lässt uns mit großen Augen staunen. Die Sonne die durch die vielen bunten Fenster scheint und organischen Formen sind einfach begeisternd.
      Anschließend ging es noch auf einen Turm, der aktuell 14 Türme (18 sind geplant) mit fantastischem Ausblick.

      La Sagrada Familia

      28 Juni 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 77 °F

      (this is Kate; I’ll bet Neal will also post pics)

      Our second stop today (after the beach) was Gaudí’s amazing Sagrada Familia cathedral. Ground was broken for construction in 1882, and they plan to finish it in 2026. It’s one of those tourist destinations that definitely lives up to the hype! I told Neal it reminded me of a Beethoven symphony: a recognizable iteration of the form, but expanded and embellished beyond what was imagined possible before.Baca selengkapnya

      Sagrada Familia

      19 Oktober 2023, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 24 °C

      Spanish artistry, craftsmanship and attention to detail are incredible! Many of my photos are wide-angle because the magnificent scale of this cathedral forces the choice.

      The volume, and colored light from the stained glass windows, and the forest of organic-looking columns (like celery stalks) are breathtaking.

      I took the rooftop tour and got to see some details adorning the pinnacles from a relatively close perspective. It was all stunning. My favorite impressions are of the crisp lines in an organic form and the light, whether white light surrounding the dark statue of St. George at the far end of the cathedral where he looms over us, or the brilliant colors beaming though the stained glass windows.

      AMAZING!

      Barcalona’s Sagrada Familia. Wow!

      8 Januari, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 11 °C

      I woke up with a cold! It’s not bad though. A runny nose and a bit of a cough. Not enough discomfort to stop us from doing things.

      When planning what to do in a Barcelona, I realized that one could spend a lot of money visiting this city. It is full of interesting places,most, at a cost. We are travelling for 3 months so we have to make choices about what we want to see and do. The Sagrada Familia was one of the places that called out to us. There is a reason why it is the most visited place in Spain, boasting almost 4 million visitors a year and we were not disappointed.

      I was able to book online senior entry tickets ($40 Cdn each) with an audio guide on Booking.com. Expensive for 1 hour but we didn’t feel too badly as the money does go towards the upkeep and continued building of this wondrous creation.

      The end result was that both Chris and I were blown away by the genius of Antoni Gaudi. No wonder that the Sagrada Família is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, even though it still hasn’t been completed (started in 1882). It was supposed to be done in 2026 but Covid slowed things down. Now the completion date may be in 2030…

      Inside and outside, it is spectacular. You just have to see it to believe it. The u-shaped choir lofts can hold 1,000 singers!

      Gaudi wasn’t the original architect. Construction started under Francisco de Paula del Villar, who resigned in 1883, allowing the young 31 year old Gaudí to take over as chief architect.

      The Sagrada Família has been built entirely with donations and has not been backed by the church or the government. Construction today is still funded with entrance fees.

      To pay tribute to basilica workers, the builders’ faces were used as models and their images can be found sculpted in stone of the Portal of Mercy façade. In the on-site museum, you can see old photos of workers posing as models for the sculptures.

      Gaudí is buried here. He died (73) on June 10, 1926, after being hit by a tram on his way to visit the Sagrada Família. His tomb can be found in the El Carmen Virgin chapel.

      When you enter the basilica, you have to go through a security system similar to the ones in airports. Everything comes off and put on a tray to go through a scanner. Photo I.D. could be asked for. Spain wouldn’t want to lose this building to a terrorist!

      I didn’t have earphones to listen to the audio guide but Chris lent me his left hearing aid and as long as we stuck together, it worked!

      I am not going to write anymore, as whatever I write will not even begin to describe the splendour of being in this building. Neither will the photos… and I’m sure there are lots and lots of great articles and photos to check out online.

      Afterwards we walked one block from the basilica to the Rosellan Hotel that has a rooftop terrace with great closeup views of the spikes and turrets from a different perspective. No one was up there and we just sat on comfy chairs in the sun and enjoyed the 360 degree views.

      We returned to the hotel using our metro card and had a lunch of instant soup in a cup, an orange, and cookies and tea. Tonight’s dinner will be at the Honest Greens restaurant again, mmmn yum.

      *Note to Karen and Rob - Chris got a phone leash today! Handy!

      La Sagrada Familia

      16 Januari, Spanyol ⋅ ☁️ 15 °C

      Die Tickets hatte ich gestern schon online gekauft, damit wir nicht stundenlang an irgendeiner Kasse anstehen müssen. Da wir mit Bus und Metro vom Campingplatz aus etwa eine Stunde brauchen und wir uns auf 10:30Uhr als Abfahrtszeit geeinigt hatten, dachte ich, 12Uhr ist eine gute Zeit für die Besichtigung. (Wann man in die Kirche möchte muss man bei der Buchung auch angeben.)
      Was ich leider vergessen hatte, die Busse fahren zwar regelmäßig, aber "nur" alle 20 Minuten. Doof, wenn dann einer Verspätung hat. Noch doofer, wenn vier Deutsche an der Haltestelle stehen und keiner dem Busfahrer winkt, damit er anhält. Dabei hatten Jörg und ich das gestern noch gesehen, dass man das so macht. Da die Zeit jetzt doch etwas knapp wurde (Als Deutsche wollen wir doch pünktlich sein!), habe ich Google Maps bemüht, und festgestellt, wenn wir bis zum Flughafen fahren, können wir von da mit einem Bus fahren, der schneller in der Stadt ist. Super! Allerdings gilt unsere Fahrkarte nicht für den Flughafen-Bus, ist mir erst eingefallen, als wir schon da waren. Die Metro hält auch am Flughafen, aber dann kämen wir erst um 12:15Uhr an. Selber Schuld, wir haben den teuren Flughafen-Bus bezahlt und sind auf die Minute genau an der Kathedrale angekommen.
      Einlass-Kontrolle wie am Flughafen, Rucksäcke, Gürtel und Jacken wurden durchleuchtet, dann durften wir aufs Gelände.
      Ein wahnsinns Bau! Obwohl 1882 angefangen wurde zu bauen, wird die Kirche voraussichtlich (wenn keine unvorhergesehenen Unterbrechungen wie Pandemie o.ä. mehr vorkommen), spätestens 2033 fertiggestellt.
      Ab 1883 übernahm Antoni Gaudí den Posten des Architekten und baute zwar die Krypta nach den ursprünglichen Plänen, fing aber gleichzeitig an, die Pläne für die restliche Kirche grundlegend zu überarbeiten. Bis zu seinem Tod 1926 arbeitete er an der Kirche.
      Während des spanischen Bürgerkrieges kamen die Arbeiten vollständig zum erliegen und Teile der Krypta und der Fassade wurden zerstört. Außerdem ging ein Teil der Baupläne verloren.
      Nach dem Krieg haben sich Architekten und frühere Mitarbeiter zusammen getan, um die Pläne zu rekonstruieren.
      Ab 1950 wurde weiter gebaut und im Jahr 2010 war der Innenraum fertig und wurde vom Papst geweiht.

      Barcelona day 3

      4 April, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C

      Today, we got up and had some breakfast beers in the sun with some donairs! After we joined our hostel for a walking tour of Sagrada famillia. A building has never left me lost for words, but the Sagrada Famillia did. We learned how the city of barcelona was expanding fast. They decided to build way outside of where the city was because they knew the city would catch up. They wanted to represent that by building the fanciest craziest church around. The first architect only worked on the church for a year because he wasn't making extravagant enough. They fired him on good terms and asked him who he thought could do what they envisioned. He recommended a young Antoni Gaudi, who was fascinated by nature and its fractal shapes. He loved that nothing in nature was a straight line. He wanted to apply that to Sagrada Famillia. He definitely did, as you can see. He dedicated the last 30+ years of his life to this project, designing all the sculptures and designing the entire building himself. Every detail of this building is symbolic for something, and I thought that was so cool. Once it's done, the only thing in all of barcelona that will be taller than Sagrada Famillia is a nearby mountain. He purposley designed it to be 2M shorter than this mountain because he didn't want to offend God. That's pretty generous towards a fella he's never met. If it was me, I'd make it 2M taller than the tallest mountain lol. I guess that is why I'm not the lead architect on one of the seven wonders of the world. He was completely obsessed with the Bascilla. At the time of his death, his baby was only 25% complete. He was buried in the crypt. The Sagrada Famillia has been under construction for the last 142 years and is expected to be completely finished in 2026, but the tour guide doesn't believe it at all. That's because in Gaudis's plans, there is supposed to be a park across the street from the front gates, but when they bought their land way outside of the city, they couldn't afford to buy the land across the street. A private company bought the land and slapped an apartment building up right next to it. Since then, the church has been saying they will tear down the apartments once construction is complete. The apartment has a banner hanging from it, saying, "Our houses are legal." That might delay some things. Unfortunately, tickets were completely sold out, so we couldn't go inside. Maybe one day I'll make it back and see the inside. After we walked up a massive hill to go see a place called parc güell, which was also sold out. I'm gonna be honest I got a little frustrated. We walked way too long for that shit to be sold out as well, so I was annoyed. I guess we need to start booking ahead. Afterward, we decided we'd go check out the Gothic Quarter. This was super cool. The other church we saw was called La Seu. Its constriction was finished in 1448, so it's decently old lol. We kept wandering in the Gothic Quarter and found these narrow streets filled with little bars, so we stopped for a beer at one. Once we sat down, I swear I had to try not to fall asleep inside. We were getting hungry, so we went to a grocery store, we grabbed 4 burgers, spaghetti, and pasta sauce all for 8 euros. That might be the cheapest spaghetti meatsauce I've ever had, but it was so good! That's about it for today, though.

      I want new tattoos so bad

      Time for Guadi!

      11 Mei 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

      Today was our Gaudi Tour day. We got off to a late start though because there were no taxis to be had. Apparently the local Catalan Parliament was meeting today and government business mint that all the taxis were used for the parliament members. We finally ended up taking a city bus to Park Guell and the ride was actually quite nice. Just outside the park we met Lupe who was our guide for the day.

      The park was actually a real estate venture that really never went anywhere except for a couple of buildings that Gaudi designed and the overall Park layout. And now it makes for a wonderful place to escape the city but definitely you don't escape the crowds. Gaudi loved nature and all of his design is to create a place for nature to surround us in our built environment.

      From the park within took taxis to go to the Sagrada Familia. This church was the highlight of my trip to Barcelona. I went there in 1980 and so much has changed . There was not even a roof back then. The big push to complete the church really started in the late 80s and it was also when the architects in charge of the work changed over to using concrete instead of individual Stones which is how the church was being constructed up until that time. There's a lot of stone work inside the church now but is now only Stone facing over a poured concrete structure. The overall architecture and color and light is Gaudi's. But much of the sculpture especially the newer sculpture departs from Gaudi's original intent but then again because churches like this take so long to build I expect that he thought that that would happen.

      One of the interesting things that Lupe pointed out was that when Gaudi built or rather started building the Sagrada Familia he actually built the walls of one of the transepts to their full height. And this is what I remember seeing plus some of the apse. A transept is part of the church if you think of it as a cross that is the horizontal part. And the apse is the part around the altar at the top. Most big churches are built from the ground up all around and if that was done at the Sagrada Familia the church easily could have changed from Gaud's original design intent, much like Saint Peter's did in Rome. What Gaudi really did is he forced everybody's hand by building the transept walls because the main nave had to be higher so he got his church, and thankfully the Architects of the work kept very close to his design intent for the rest of the church but they were almost forced to do so.

      Sagrada Família

      28 Mei 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 26 °C

      Die Basilika ist die das meist besuchteste Ziel der Stadt, die unumstrittene Ikone Barcelonas! Sie ist eine von Antoni Gaudís berühmtesten Werken in Barcelona, welche sich seit 1882 im Bau befindet und eigentlich schon seit langem fertig sein sollte... sollte... es gibt viele Kontroversen um den Bau der gigantischen Basilika. Selbst während des Baus hat sich der Stil geändert. Bis zu seinem Tod 1926 hat Gaudí eine aktive Rolle bei den Arbeiten gespielt. Wenn sie mal fertig gestellt ist, soll sie mit 172,5 Metern die höchste Kirche der Welt sein. Heute heißt es, die Kirche solle in 2026 endlich fertig werden - es bleibt abzuwarten.

      Auch wenn noch eingerüstet und Bauarbeiten erkennbar sind, ist die Basilika immer einen Besuch wert. Gesagt sei, insbesondere wenn es wärmer wird, sollte man unbedingt vorreservieren! Lange Schlangen finden sich am Eingang, Rucksäcke werden wie am Flughafen kontrolliert. Und das Sicherheitspersonal? Etwas verwirrend hier Menschen mit schutzsicherer Weste zu sehen. Und es sind wirklich viele Menschen hier! Innen hat man zwar ein wenig das Gefühl, es verläuft sich, aber das täuscht.

      Bei einem Besuch hat man auch die Möglichkeit, zwei von aktuell 13 Türmen zu besteigen (Gaudí plante übrigens 18 Türme). Besteigen ist dabei aber relativ, bringt einem doch ein Fahrstuhl nach oben. Rucksäcke muss man übrigens dafür abgeben, und ich erfahre gleich warum. Oben angekommen bin ich etwas enttäuscht. Man hat nur eine kleine Brücke, zwar mit Aussicht, aber das war es auch. Ich würde fast sagen, da ist das Dach der Kathedrale imposanter. Zumal man nach kurzer Aussicht dann den engen Weg nach unten antreten darf. Man kommt vorbei an kleinen Fenstern, aber in der Hauptsache ist man damit beschäftigt, sich auf den Weg zu konzentrieren. Aber was solls, ich nehm ja eigentlich jeden Turm und Aussichtspunkt mit, den ich kriegen kann!

      Ansonsten bleibt zu sagen, dass die Basilika wirklich eine etwas andere Kirche ist - Gaudí eben! Die vielen bunten Formen außen und Glasfenster innen verleihen dem Gebäude etwas einzigartiges. Vor allem die einfallende Sonne, eine Explosion aus Farbe und Licht, wirklich schön.

      La Sagrada Familia

      14 Juni 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ☀️ 82 °F

      The sagrada familia was also a highlight of this whole trip. It is the newest cathedral I’ve seen on the trip - in fact, it isn’t even done yet. They’ve been working on it since 1880 and the Gaudí, the main architect, died in 1926. They are aiming to complete in in 2026 for the 100 year anniversary of his death. It is the most massive and unique cathedral I’ve seen in Europe. It has a very modern style and feels like something out of Star Wars. When it is done, its highest tower will be over 500 feet tall and it will be the tallest building in Barcelona. It is so special to be able to see a cathedral that is still being built and that will also be done so soon. It is just such an interesting and trippy place and I really have just never seen any cathedral like it.Baca selengkapnya

      Sagrada Família und Park Güell

      20 Juni 2022, Spanyol ⋅ ⛅ 27 °C

      Der zweite Tag. Es stehen die ganz großen Besichtigungen an. Die Sagrada Família ist, äh, speziell. Lou war nicht davon abzubringen, dass die „Burg“ kaputt sei. Nachdem wir gegangen waren, hat es irgendwo geknallt, daraufhin Lou völlig überzeugt: „Jetzt ist die Burg zusammen gebrochen.“ Der Innenraum mit den Fenstern ist durchaus beeindruckend, vor allem, wenn die Sonne auf die Fenster scheint.
      Der Park Güell ist ebenfalls mit seinen Bauwerken Geschmacksache. An sich aber ein sehr schöner Park.
