Here are some photos from Barcelona. I'll post about 30 of 200 or so I took of the Park Guell, the area around the Plaza Espana, and the 3 churches we visited Andrea probably mentioned that two of the churches were Basilica's and the other was a Cathedral.

I hoping for no sideways pics tonight. So far things have been going a little better.

The architect Antoni Gaudi Was commissioned to build a community.
Like his church it was started but never finished. The would be community is
now Park Guell. This is one of the entrances into the park
One of the columned walkways in the park

This is a bench the encircles the plaza that was to be a shopping center

This was to be the caretakers house

the park has about 4 levels with stairs connecting each level.
These stairs connect the main entrance with the 2nd level
There are 3 fountains in the center of the staiway

  1. Great photos! You went to some places that I did, but others that I did not. You got some nice shots at Park Guell. On the day that we were there, the bench surrounding the community square (as it were) was jammed with people. I'm glad that you got to see it with fewer visitors there. Aren't the cathedrals in Spain marvelous? So much to take in.

  2. Great photos!! The one of the cross could be a postcard! Well, for that matter, many could. The Park Guell looks so interesting. I can handle more pictures!! :)
