Sagrada Família
We got into the grounds and interior of the Sagrada before it rained much. Had an excellent tour, but the rain that was predicted arrived and the towers were closed. That meant not being near the newest tower opened in February 2026, the Jesus Tower, the highest of them all. Only the towers symbolizing the disciples were completed when I was last here. The Mary tower, just shorter than the Jesus Tower was completed in 2021.
These gorgeous stained glass windows and the columns symbolic of trees were not completed until 2010. Seeing the interior was really striking! This church is more appealing to me than others I’ve visited because of the natural elements integrated in its design. The light and colors are stunning and somehow spiritual.
“And what is the truth?”
Leaving the cathedral we were rained upon with a vengeance. Enough so that I hurried us along …… but in the wrong direction. Meant probably another 8 blocks or so in the rain. Beth sorted us out! Glad of my goretex shoe choice for the day and other rain resistant gear, but we were wet and steamy!!! Required some downtime in our inn.
Barcelona Guitar Trio at the Palau de La Musica
We found a taxi quickly and whisked back to our beds! The music drove the disappointment of the rain away!
Even in rain, stunning.
The picture of your friend with both a glass of white wine and red wine in her hands made me recall a friend of mine whenever given a choice between two things. Instead of choosing one, he always said “yes.” As in, I’ll take both.
I hope this adventure was enjoyable and filled your bucket full again!! Thanks for taking me along.
