    ¡Viva España!

    [Nikon D5300]

    Summer trip to Spain in 2023. Barcelona, Girona, Zaragosa, León, Burgos, Gitaria, San Sebastian. Catalonia, Aragon, Navarre, Castile y León, La Rioja, and Basque Country.

    The covered market space.

    Park Guell. Guell is pronounced "Way" fwiw. Guell was Gaudi's patron. Gaudi designed this park and lots of buildings, including Sagreda Familia, the cathedral.
    Lumbar-correct seating on the terrace above the old market.

    Smoke would come out of the nostrils and mouth when this was used.

    Above this was the terrace, and below, the covered market.

    There was a contrast of the classical, realist carvings, and Gaudi's blocky parodic ones.

    Sagreda Familia was re-designed by Gaudi, and he left the plans so it could be completed after his death. It is slated to be finished in 2032.

    That spiral in the back is a stairway.

    The original floorplan before Gaudi got his hands on the plans.
    "Give us this day our daily bread" is written around the main prayer in different languages.
    We entered in later afternoon, and this was the first photo inside the doors.
    The columns are stronger than traditional Gothic arches, and have no need of a keystone at the top. Instead, to mimic sunlight filtering through the treetops, Gaudi put windows there.
