Visiting Gaudi’s unfinished church La Sagrada Familia in Barcelona was one of the most moving and spiritual experiences of my life. I was prepared to appreciate the unique architecture, but I was not prepared for the feeling of wonder, awe, and peace of this space. Truly, it is a place where you can feel the presence of God.

Barcelona is a great city, and this was the highlight for me. You should go see it!
Sevilla is also a beautiful city! The cathedral with the Giralda is pretty amazing and a very cool mix of cultures.

I agree – totally, with every word you say. Six years ago we visited the cathedral, and I could hardly leave…I think I spent 2-3 hours just looking at all the fantastic details and the glory of it all. Your post made me long for a new visit. It is magical, and knowing how Gaudi was thinking and what made him go on, and his tragic death adds to the wonder.

I definitely lost track of time and didn’t want to leave. I hope to go back someday when it’s completed…hopefully in my lifetime haha. Gaudi was an amazing visionary.
