Barcelona

Next stop was Barcelona, the home of Gaudi. We checked in to the hostel, yes this time we had a booking! And then headed off to see all the Gaudi buildings. They are strange looking things, but cool, beacuse they are unlike anyhting we have ever seen before.

Information centre and gift shop at the Park.

Whilst in Barcelona we made it out to the olympic site to see a game of football. We saw the home team, Espanyol lose 5-1 to Gadafe.

Gaudi's yet to be completed masterpiece, La Sagrada Familia. Construction began around 1880, with no solid completion date as yet!


The Sagrada Familia continued...

Strange looking Gaudi buildings continued...

Probably my favourite Gaudi building, which was just up the road from where we were staying and only 16euro to get in, it was a little out of our budget!

Hey Shannon and Sean. Glad to see you are loving Spain. How much Sngria have you drunk so far? Hopefully we'll come visit you in September.
