My weekend of culture didn’t just end in the city of Tossa Del Mar. On a beautiful sunny day back in Barcelona, I took my parents to two of the most famous Gaudi creations: La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell.
I had been waiting for my family to be in Spain to finally visit the cathedral of Sagrada Famalia, as it is one of the most well-known architectural spots in Spain that everyone always recommends to tourists. Turns out, la Sagrada Familia is located on Carrer de Mallorca just 10 blocks down the street from my apartment – who knew! Seeing la Sagrada Familia from the outside for the first time is breathtaking. The tall, beautiful building reaches to a height of 170 meters and is way taller than any of the buildings that surround it. The inside of the cathedral is also just as amazing – rainbows of stained glass lines each window with large cubic colums lining the interior. I really enjoyed how the glass windows lit up the interior of the cathedral with beautiful, vivacious colors. Here a few pictures that capture the experience:
Next, I took my family to Parc Guell, another famous Guadi creation. I had already visted Parc Guell, but it was still just as enjoyable the second time around and a great experience to take the family there. Parc Guell is known as one of the largest architectural works in Europe and can be described as a garden complex filled with Gaudi architectural elements. Originally intended to be a housing site, the park was converted into a beautiful garden. At the top of main terrace of the park gives tourists the perfect view of all of Barcelona, extending all the way to the sea. There’s no better way to describe the beauty of the park and the sites than surround it than by showing some snapshots from my family’s visit:
