Inside Sagrada Famillia in Barcelona, Spain

Hola!
Happy Thursday and hello World-
I was poking around SnapFish today and chanced upon some more of my long lost Spain Pictures. Hurray!
These are from a cruise we took to Spain from Galveston, Texas, USA in 2011. It was a 15 day cruise, I think, and I will blog about that part later. We disembarked in Barcelona where we stayed for approx. 10 days. The 1st two were in a hotel and then the next 7 were in a holiday apartment or Gite.

I have a few more picture of the Sagrada Familla to share. The Church is so large and is different from every angel that you could spend days just looking at it.

People left in pict for scale.

 The Sagrada Familla - in English - "The  Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family", is a large Roman Catholic church in Barcelona, Spain, designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926). Although incomplete, the church is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and thousands of people visit it every day.

Construction of Sagrada Família began in 1882 and Gaudí became involved in 1883, when he took over the project. Work still continues on this massive church today.

And they do hold services inside.

Plans, drawing from the museum.

Another shot from inside, as the light changes so does the look of the church.

Park across form the Sagrada Familla.

Our lovely Gite. I found it on line and was very pleased with the location and price.

Model found in the shop.

We also visited the Park Guell in Barcelona. The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site, the idea of Count Eusebi Güell, after whom the park was named.

Wrought Iron Gate.

It was Saturday morning and the rest of Spain was there too.

Now standing with crowd.

Look up!

It was a long, fun day. Headed back to the gite for a good nights sleep before we ventured off to see more.
