Barcelona!!

           This weekend we went to Barcelona!! Its a pretty sweet place.

View of Barcelona

On our seven hour drive to reach the splendid city, we stopped in Monserrat, a tiny little town on the top of a mountain. The views from the top were breathtaking.

In Monserrat, we were able to go inside another church, hang out in the plaza, and smell the thousands of candles. In the catholic church, you can light a candle to save a deceased loved one in purgatory.

When we finally reached Barcelona, we were able to go to la Sagrada Familia: the most amazing church ever. It is still under construction, and has about 40% left to go. It started construction in 1882, which means it will be done in like 2040. Designed by the famous Gaudí, the church is dedicated to Christ. Everything, literally everything, symbolizes his life and teachings.

personal favorite

  

I love the modern influence

On our way back home, we stopped in the middle of no where to see the Convenio de Piedra. The church was beautiful, as always, but the best part was the park containing about 10 huge waterfalls.
