Casa Gaudí is where Gaudí lived while he was commissioned to build the Park Guell. Its a treasure trove of his groovy furniture designs, sketches and sculpture.

The Flamenco scene was alive and well in Barcelona! We saw shows 4 nights!

La Sagrada Familia - Antoni Gaudí's unfinished church - probably the most recognizable icon of Barcelona. He started building it in 1882 and work continues today. Since I saw it in 1992, and it has come along way, but there is still much more to build. The building works are expected to be completed around 2026.
