Okay so I went to Barça a month ago. Here's pictures!
A view from my hostel in the mountains. How scenic, right?
Palm trees and sunshine!
Palau Güell (Gaudí)
Palau Güell
Casa Batlló (Gaudí)
Covered in mosaics.
La Pedrera/Casa Mila. He asked Gaudí for something better than Casa Batlló and got this. (It's not better.)
SAGRADA FAMILA - Nativity Façade
Hello! (It's really tall.)
Sagrada Familia - Passion Façade
What you see when you go in the current entrance (on the Passion façade side)
Main altar.
Pretty.
Not even half of the stained glass is in yet and it's still amazing.
Nativity facade.
More stained glass.
So many colors.
Look at what the sun does look at what the sun does look at what the sun does!
Sunlight through the windows... (Are you kidding me?)
Sagrada Familia in the late afternoon sun.
Another side.
Barcelona from Parc Güell
My map was sponsored by a shopping center so it had all the shopping information. And then on the back it said, "You should also visit La Sagrada Familia." Well, I did.
Yes, I went to this.
Colón monument
Port de Barcelona. Reminds me of St. Augustine, because St. Augustine is Spanish.
Boat and palm trees.
Rose window in one of the oldest Gothic churches in Spain.
Santa Maria del Pi - pi is Catalán for pine (like the tree).
The Venetian style - layered and scraped away.
Narrow streets in the Gothic quarter.
Where the senate has resided since Roman times.
The 13 geese. Long story involving a 13-year-old girl who wouldn't renounce her Christian faith and therefore got rolled down a hill in a barrel full of broken glass 13 times. She became a saint and these are her geese.
My favorite goose, the rebel with the mohawk.
Why I ate lunch where I did on Sunday.
Picasso's Las Meninas. I was not supposed to take this photo.
Cop de Rock! (Time of Rock)
Arc de Triomf - Catalans can't spell.
