La Sagrada Familia

La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is due to finished in 2026, 100 years after the death of its designer Antoni Gaudi. Construction began, would you believe, in 1882. I am a person who thinks public transport is good but sadly Gaudi was killed when he was hit by a tram, at his age of 73. 

The first photo is from the Sagrada foundation and the rest are mine. 


This was the view from the balcony of our apartment in 2017. We wondered what on earth we were looking at when we first entered the apartment.







Of course we wanted to visit and I looked online. We should have booked days ahead. Entrance was booked out, as were all tours. 





I really wonder what Gaudi was thinking.
