Barcelona

Last Thursday (almost 2 weeks ago now!) I headed to Barcelona with two of my friends from Denver. Two more of my friends joined us there and we had a great time. The weather was mostly nice, although sometimes rainy. My favorite part of the trip was the bike tour we took. It ended up being a private tour for the five of us as no one else showed up!

Barcelona is a city with lots of beautiful architecture. The most famous architect in Barcelona was a man named Gaudi. He designed many houses, a park and a church. The church is called La Sagrada Familia and has been under construction since 1882! It is not scheduled to be completed until sometime around 2030...or so...

La Casa Pedrera - one of Gaudi's houses which you can tour inside

The roof of Las Casa Pedrera - so cool!

The streets of the Old City are small and cobbled

Park Guell - one of Gaudi's parts of Barcelona. There is amazing glass work and tiling everywhere. The park overlooks the city from a high hill - quite a climb!

La Sagrada Familia - I went up in one of those towers. There are a lot of great places for views in Barcelona, but this probably the most fun!
