Barcelona - La Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell




La Sagrada Familia is probably the most famous attraction in Barcelona.  It's a Catholic church designed by several architects.  With so many different styles at one building site, there was something for everyone's taste.  Larissa found the Passion facade by Josep Subirachs most compelling, while Jeff fell in love with the spires that had "fruit on the top."  Kieran liked Antonio Gaudi's Christmas tree on the Nativity facade the best and Alex couldn't stop looking at the lizards and snails slithering along the towers.  Parc Guell, designed by Antonio Gaudi, proved an equally rich treasure trove of delights.  Even though it rained a little while we were at the park, there were numerous tunnels and caverns where we could take shelter.
