Found my love in Barcelona 😍
#coupletravel
Barcelona was an absolute dream for our couple’s getaway! ❤️ We spent our days wandering through the Gothic Quarter, getting lost in its narrow, winding streets full of history and charm. The highlight was definitely visiting La Sagrada Família. 🏰 The entrance fee was around €26 per person, but it’s worth every euro – the intricate details and the stunning interior blew us away. We also took a leisurely stroll through Park Güell (entrance €10), where Gaudí’s colorful mosaics and architecture created the perfect backdrop for some romantic photos. 📸
In the evenings, we enjoyed tapas at local bars and watched the sunset at the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, which was a free and magical experience. 🌅 The atmosphere was so lively and vibrant, especially in places like La Rambla and the beach at Barceloneta. The city has a little bit of everything – history, culture, great food, and beautiful sights. We can’t wait to come back! #trip #Barcelona #CoupleTravel #Gaudí #SpainAdventures #RomanticGetaway

Day trip to Barcelona 🇪🇸
#summerdestinations
Just got back from a day trip to Barcelona, and I’m still buzzing from the experience! 🏙️🌞 This city has so much to offer, and one day just doesn’t feel like enough. I started my day at the iconic Sagrada Familia; the entrance fee was around €26, but seeing Gaudí’s masterpiece up close was worth every cent. The stained glass windows inside are absolutely mesmerizing. Next, I headed to Park Güell (entrance fee about €10) to take in the colorful mosaics and get some great views of the city. After a delicious tapas lunch in the Gothic Quarter, I wandered down La Rambla, soaking in the lively street performances and local art. The day wouldn’t have been complete without a quick stop at the beach to dip my toes in the Mediterranean. Barcelona is truly a vibrant mix of culture, art, and sunshine! #trip #Barcelona #SagradaFamilia #Gaudí #TravelSpain #MediterraneanVibes

Gaudi's masterpiece in his lifetime: Sagrada Familia
Sagrada Familia is the most famous tourist attraction in Barcelona, and the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world, designed by Gaudi.
He combined Gothic and Art Nouveau styles, and Gaudi spent basically 43 years of his life on the design and construction of the Sagrada Familia, where he was also buried in the basement. Some people questioned why the church took so long to build, Gaudi said: 'My client is not in a hurry.' The client here refers to 'God'. By the time Gaudi died in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was completed.
The current architect is already the fourth generation in charge. The Sagrada Familia has three facades - the 'Nativity Facade', the 'Passion Facade', and the 'Glory Facade', of which the 'Glory Facade' is still under construction; there are eighteen towers, representing the twelve apostles, the Virgin Mary, the four archangels in the Bible, and Jesus Christ. As of January 2023, eleven have been completed.
Art critic Reiner Zerbst once said when describing the Sagrada Familia: 'There may not be any similar church buildings in the entire history of art', Paul Goldberger described it as: 'the most extraordinary personal interpretation since Gothic architecture'.

Nothing is Art if it doesn’t come from Nature
Sagrada Familia is one of the most iconic art piece designed by Antoni Gaudi.
It is the largest unfinished Catholic Church in the world.
To date, the church still under construction and it would take many years to complete.
Maybe many people could not wait for the church to be built on that day.
I hope I got a chance to revisit this magical place again when it is fully built.

Passing through Barcelona, sharing the street scenery of Barcelona | Spain.
Barcelona is located in the northeast of the Iberian Peninsula, adjacent to the Mediterranean Sea. It is the second largest city in Spain, the capital of the Catalonia Autonomous Community, and the capital of the province of Barcelona (belonging to the Catalonia Autonomous Community). The Catalan Autonomous Community Parliament, administrative agencies, and high court are all located here.

The Sagrada Familia cannot be missed!
The biggest landmark in Barcelona is undoubtedly the Sagrada Familia. It was designed by the architect Antoni Gaudi, and remains unfinished to this day! It started in 1883 and remains a construction site today.
The interior features beautiful stain glassed windows that allow for an unparalleled atmosphere. The roof of the nave has amazing details while the columns were made to resemble branches and trees.

Sagrada Familia - grandest church in Spain
Sagrada Familia was the most astonishing chapels I’ve been to in the world. Stepping into the church was a feast for your eyes - the church was intricately designed in Gaudi’s distinct style. I paid 26Euros for the entry ticket that comes with an audio tour.
Tip: Enter during the dusk period to see the sunlight shine through the stained glass and fill the chapel in the colours of rainbow. #spain #barcelona #lasagradafamilia

Seeing Sagrada Familia
Seeing Sagrada Familia and actually experiencing Gaudi’s genius workmanship is amazing! It was truly a dream come true going inside this work of craftsmanship. Going inside was like wandering through a forest due to the numerous architectural intricacies you can find. The whole facade literally tells a story of Jesus’ birth, death, etc. Everywhere we looked, there was history#history

The ONE and ONLY in Centuries if not in millenniums.
Gaudi’s legendary masterpiece.
Got awed and stunned even before entering.
As I wandered around, just can’t help constantly ‘wowing’ about every single brick and angle tailored by the architect.

Grandest church in Spain 🇪🇸
Everyone I talked to recommended Sangrada Familia to me when I said I was going to Spain. At first I was reluctant to go, because it is under construction and some parts of the church building were covered outside, also it restricted your entry time so you had to book in advance and go at the reserved time only. (I saw two tourists with a ticket of 4pm arriving at 5pm and were denied access and asked to buy mew tickets again). It was ABSOLUTELY worth it and the design and details will blow you away! #sangradafamilia #barcelona #architecture

Spooky Barcelona!! 👻🎃
There’s nothing like a spooky Barcelona!!
Barcelona, the cosmopolitan capital of Spain’s Catalonia region, is known for its art and architecture. The fantastical Sagrada Família church and other modernist landmarks designed by Antoni Gaudí dot the city. Museu Picasso and Fundació Joan Miró feature modern art by their namesakes. City history museum MUHBA, includes several Roman archaeological sites.
Barcelona is a city with a wide range of original leisure options that encourage you to visit time and time again. Overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.

140 Years of History
It is definitely worth visiting the Sagrada Familia towers for a breathtaking view of both the Basilica and Barcelona. The four towers of the Nativity are the oldest, the only ones Gaudi knew of in his lifetime. The four towers of the Passion are the most recent. On each side, a walkway connects the central towers.
It received the designation mostly because of its unique architecture and Gaudí's ability to create something so innovative and artistic
It takes about 2 hours to visit the Sagrada Familia including the towers, the small museum in the basement, and the store. Please note that once inside the basilica, you can stay as long as you like!

Amazing architecture
#bucketlistreboot
As you enter the cathedral you will notice how this building is like no other. This is because of Antoni Gaudi’s philosophy that in nature there are no straight lines. He drew a lot of his inspiration from mother nature and hence his buildings reflect that all across Barcelona. His work showed a lot of promise but also wow-ed many potential critics from quite early on in his career. It is said that his very own architecture lecturer said that “I don’t know if I gave this degree to a madman or a genius.”. I guess some people’s work take years for us to understand it. Back to the cathedral. Whilst there, sit down on one of the benches. You will notice how the stained glass colours beautifully the arches and columns designed as trees. Or how the various cement flowers decorate the walls giving an impression that we are in a concrete forest.

The History Of The Sagrada Família In 1 Minut
Perhaps the most famous Barcelona landmark of all, the Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família, more commonly known as simply the ‘Sagrada Família’ is a Roman Catholic church designed by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. It attracts over 2.8 million visitors each year and is one the world’s most iconic churches.
The Sagrada Família is famous for being one of the most iconic examples of Antoni Gaudí’s unique style, combining elements of Art Nouveau, Catalan Modernism and Spanish Late Gothic design. The theme of nature figures prominently in Gaudí’s design, both in terms of symbolism and the use of organic shapes and forms. The church, when completed, will have three facades each with their own theme and style: the Nativity Facade (dedicated to the birth of Jesus), the Passion Facade (dedicated to the passion of Christ) and the Glory Facade (dedicated to the glory of Jesus). The original designs calls for 18 spires in total, representing the 12 Apostles, the four Evangelists, Mary and Jesus. So far, only eight spires have been completed and it is expected that when the building is complete, it will be the tallest church in the world.

Sagrada Familia is a must see sight
Getting There - take the Metro, it’s easy to use and the best way to get around quickly and cheaply. Plus, the Metro station for Sagrada Familia is right out the front.
Attractions - Large Basilica under construction. Book online ahead of time to select your preferred entrance time. Also select the tower tour, there is a lift to the top, then you walk back down the stairs. The Nativity Tour is very popular, so you need to book ahead to secure this tour.
Hotels - many close by to choose from.
Food & Restaurants - it’s a tourist area so you have the usual fast food options, plus some nice cafes and restaurants.
