Barcelona |
Barcelona was our first stop in Spain. Revitalized since winning the Olympic bid in the late 20th century, this city is now a grand, beautiful place to visit. With beaches surrounding a teeming port and waterfront, it extends for miles and has a wide variety of attractions for the artist, architect, sun worshiper, or party animal. Some of the town's discos don't even open until 1am! |
Above, the colossal church facade designed by Gaudi, La Sagrada Familia. It has been under construction for almost a century, and will likely take another century to complete!. |
