Barcelona was one of my favorite citues that Ive ever been to. My only regret is that we didnt have two weeks there and one in Madrid. Every building is both pretty and exiting. There is not an ugly building in the whole city. We visited the various buildings that Gaudi designed including the amzing Segrada Familia. Im not a fan of visiting church after church but this church was facinating. The fact that they started construction about 100 years ago, and are still building it is amazing. They say theyre only halve way done with the whole building and its been "under construction" since the early 1900s. You walk into the building and you would think it was built two years ago. The inside is amazingly modern. The pillars of the church were built to look like trees, and the stain glass windows are both elabrate and let in tons of light.
Park Guell, another one of Gaudis masterpieces had a beautifull panaramic view of all Barcelona. Part of the park was built from random pieces of saramic he had found in his basements and junkyards! Finally the beach, I missed the beach so much when I was in Madrid and the mere sight of it made me happy. The water is cold and the beach is huge.
