Well, hard to think up enough superlatives for the genius of Gaudí. I came for the Sagrada Familia and it definitely didn’t disappoint. Antoni Gaudí’s temple to geometry soared upwards with the most fantastic stain glassed window. The light was pouring through and everywhere I looked there were wild shapes of all sizes. About 70% of the temple is finished, but it won’t be complete until 2026. The outside was so bizarre, with stone that looked like it was running down the sides, amazing figurines and the iconography of Gothic and Byzantine ages. I had a great taste of Gaudí with trips to the Casa Vincens, Parc Guell, Colonia Guell, El Drac de Gaudí at Finca Güell, and Casa Batlló and a taste of fabulous tapas at a lovely small café near Basílica Santa Maria del Mar. The weather is totally gorgeous and it is so nice to walk in a t-shirt and swim in the lovely pool of my super cool abode. No Gaudí there just super chic minimalism.
