First things first - collecting food for the next coupla weeks!
One of the architectural genius Gaudi´s many houses in Barcelona - this one just up the road from our hostel
It´s meant to reflect nature - can you see the bones here??
The same house´s rooftop on the right - it´s meant to look like the dragon St George slayed. Also, Gaudi always put a cross on his pieces
Another of Gaudi´s works - this time an apartment block with links to Barcelona´s seaside location (note the seaweed balconies!)
The magnificent and yet to be completed ´Temple of the Sagrada Familia´
This is the main entrance at present. Started in 1882, they expect to finish it in 2050!
The four existing spires - there will be twelve!
Gaudi´s original drawing - this is how it will look WOW!!!
The other side of the temple - the first stage on the right. See how the pollution has blackened it more than the newer part on the left
Gaudi used incredibly symbolism, some of it controversial and not allowed by the authorities, so he had to hide it amongst all this detail on the facade
Not Gaudi, but another modernistic architect. This is the Barcelona Hospital
