Spain in May, Barcelona’s Sagrada Familia

P1120441

Gaudi’s Sagrada Familia cathedral is an incredible work still in progress. I’ve never seen anything like it.  The façade is decorated with interesting features; brightly coloured fruits and a large green cyprus tree. The intricate design of this magnificent structure was started in the late 1800’s. Gaudi dedicated 43 years of his life building this incredible architectural masterpiece. They are still constructing from his master plan and expect to be finished in the year 2026.

Inside we are immediately mesmerised by the whimsicalness; smooth flowing white walls lit up by the colour streaming in through the stained glass windows.  Antonio Gaudí made great use of light to endow his architecture with expressivity and grandeur. Sunlight glistens on the pinnacles of the towers and windows.

The food was good, service quick at the beginning of the evening. As they got busy the service slowed down considerable. Overall, the dining experience was a pleasant one.
