Barcelona, Spain

Barcelona is very famous for their great architecture. This building was designed by the renowned architect, Antoni Gaudi. He is known throughout the world for his use of mosaic in buildings. This is Casa Batllo, one of his most famous buildings.

This is Casa Mila, another one of Gaudi's most famous buildings.

This is Hospital de Sant Pau. This was designed by a contemporary of Gaudi's, Lluis Domenech i Monaner.

This is Sagrada Família, a massive, privately-funded Roman Catholic church that has been under construction in Barcelona since 1882 and is not expected to be complete until at least 2026. Think we could get by with that on a school? This is considered to be the master-work of Antoni Gaudi. He worked day and night on this project until his untimely death in 1926. He was struck by a tram in Grand Via. Ouch!

This is the AGBAR tower, the headquarters of the Barcelona water company.

This is known as the Forum. It was built for the first Universal Forum of Cultures in 2004.

The beaches near Port Olympic (where we spent most of our time during the day).

We're in Barcelona and Spain just won the World Cup. Why so serious?
