Barcelona

Barcelona is a city of about 5 million people and is quite a nice looking city. In terms of architecture the city skyline is dominated by the Sagrada Familia. "The Sacred Family." It is a giant cathedral that is already about 90 metres high and it isnt completed yet. When it is completed it will reach about 170 metres. We went out to a lookout nearby and it already dwarfs everything else in the city. It is the project that the famous architect Gaudi spent a great deal of his life on. It has been in construction for well over a hundred years and its only half finished. Gaudi liked to used many natural forms in his work and this is reflected in the many different nature-inspired structures in his buildings around Barcelona. The inside of the Catherdral contains columns that branch out like a tree would and forms a canopy over the main halls of the cathedral. We met some more of Javiers friends and had a great time looking around Barcelona. Didnt make it to the Nou Camp though. (Darn it).
