Barcelona Revisited

We kicked off a two-week European tour with a return visit to Barcelona.  On the itinerary this time was more of Gaudi's architecture, and of course just wandering the city.  First stop was the Sagrada Familia, a huge church designed by Gaudi that was began in the late 19th century and is still not completed (hence all the scaffolding and cranes).  However, when you notice the extreme detailing, it's not surprising that construction is taking so long.


We also toured Casa Mila (also known as La Pedrera), an apartment building designed by Gaudi that's known for its undulating facade and unique rooftop design.
