Sagrada Família and its diverse crowds

In June, we were in Barcelona and visited the Sagrada Família. An imposing structure, of course. But just as interesting is the diverse crowds in and around the basilica—a madhouse of tourists, guides, and vendors, starting fairly early in the day. The Sagrada Família is a very vertical object; people shuffle around with their heads on their necks.

Gaudi’s Casa Milà this summer

Last summer we visited Barcelona on our trip through northern Spain. In addition to the Sagrada Familia, the architect Gaudi left more amazing structures in Barcelona.

We visited his Casa Milà, an apartment building Gaudi designed and built. The building was completed in 1912.
