My DH and I went on a 7 day Western Mediterranean cruise September 5-12. The port we left from was Barcelona so we flew in a day early to enjoy the sights Barcelona has to offer. We took the bus from our hotel to Placa de Espanya, one of the most well known streets in Barcelona. There we toured the sights around Placa de Espanya, Le Seu Cathedral, Las Ramblas and the Christopher Columbus statue. We took a bus tour of Barcelona on the 12th when we got back into port and that is when we saw La Sagrada Familia. Construction on La Sagrada Familia started in 1882 and still is not finished. Antoni Gaudi took over construction plans just a year into the beginning and it is being modeled after his vision to this day. Even though they are barely half way done, it truly is a great sight! The architecture is very modern for late 19th to early 20th century design but it is exquisite to see in person. Pictures just don't do it justice. If you happen to be in Barcelona any time in your life, you MUST go see La Sagrada Familia. It's worth your while!
