Cafe De L'academia - Delicious!!! Great location and good interior decor (important to me!).

SAGRADA FAMILIA

Sage was interviewed by some students learning English

You can see the old with the new

This is the "Sagrada Familia" (Sacred Family) on the facade, which it is named for.

The architects workroom where they continue to plan the building of Sagrada Familia which has been under construction for 125 years.

Gaudi engineered the building of Sagrada Familia by using fabric and little hanging bags filled with sand. He hung them, then photographed them and turned the photos upside down to capture the shape. The photo on the left is the sketch.

This is one of the huge entrance doors

The sun-rays spilling into the interior were magnificent!
