Because we bought round trip tickets into Barcelona, we are doing one day today in Barcelona and then coming back for a few more days at the very end of trip.
We started the day off at Sagrada Familia, probably the hallmark site of Barcelona. It was designed by Gaudi (an architect from the region whose buildings and monuments can be seen all over the city) and construction started around 150 years ago, but was never finished (and still remained unfinished today). You can see that there are still cranes outside, but it sure looks incredible and stands as one of the tallest buildings in Barcelona:
Next we climbed up to a hill near the northern part of the city to a place called Park Guell where we saw spectacular views of all of Barcelona below. The park is actually dedicated to a lot of the architecture and works of Gaudi so also has a lot of unique architectural structures:
In the evening, we went to watch the Magical Fountain of Barcelona which was a cool fountain display timed to lights and music.
