Barcelona, Spain
Yay! Today is the day I’ve been waiting for. We finally got to go check out La Sagrada Familia. If you’re going to be in Barcelona for the first time, let me quickly state two facts.
1) You must see La Sagrada Familia. It is not to be missed.
2) There is nothing else around it. Pack some water/snacks.
We were just as amazed and horrified by this massive, melting monstrosity as I had hoped and feared. It has tall, jutting peaks dripping Gothic elements like wax from a burning candle.
Most people who see La Sagrada Familia either love it or hate it. I thought it was cool. Bri did not. I find Gaudi’s architecture to be an intriguing clash between Salvador Dali and M. C. Esher. You gotta see it to believe it.
This building was also undergoing renovations, so I definitely hope to make it back out here and see it without bright yellow cranes obstructing my view.
