(about 31 March) There was quite a lot more to our Barcelona week than shown in my last Barcelona post, so here are more photos. We had a "Gaudi day", when we visited several of Gaudi's famous sites - the houses Casa Battlo and Casa Mila; the park Parc Guell; and the famous unfinished Sagrada Famila church. He had an extraordinary influence in the city, about one hundred years ago, and today these are among the popular tourist attractions in Barcelona.
Our day was rather wet unfortunately, but we still got to see most of what we came for. Lisa and Adam persevered on the open-top bus as the rain bucketed down, all alone.
