Visiting Barcelona - Photoblog
In 2019 my wife and I visited Barcelona in Spain. That cosmopolitan city is home to the well-known cathedral Sagrada Familia, designed mainly by Antoni Gaudi. The magnificent cathedral has been under construction for nearly 100 years and is planned to be finished in 2026. It is one of the most complex architectures ever created, with various asymmetric designs throughout the building.
We also visited other Gaudi creations like Parc Gruell, Casa Batllo and La Pedrera as well as places such as La Rambla strolling street, fascinating market Mercat de la Boqueria, Placa Reial (Royal Square) and more.
