Barcelona is a beautiful
city with a lot to offer. From the tree-lined promenade of Las Ramblas, to
the mind-boggling architecture of Antoni Gaudi, our entire 2-1/2 weeks in
Spain could have been spent taking in the sights of this city alone!
Gaudi's creations are
completely unreal and definitely made for one of our highlights. The
stunning color of all the tile mosaic work around Parc Guell is truly
inspiring; the modernista-styling of Casa Mia is one-of-a-kind; and La
Sagrada Familia--the cathedral Gaudi was building when he died--is the
centerpiece of his brilliance.
Another highlight of our
trip was seeing Barcelona play Olympic Lyonnais in UEFA Champions League
action at Camp Nou. 2-0 for the home side!
