la sagrada família

La Sagrada Família, considered Gaudí's masterpiece, was begun in 1882 and will not be finished for at least another 20 years. Those big towers you see? The biggest ones haven't even been built yet. When it's finished, there will be 18 in all. Eighteen towers.

Two nights is much too short for Sevilla, but that was all I had before catching a flight to meet Melissa in Barcelona. 

Barcelona. City of many things, but for this trip, the city of Gaudí. We spent our one full day in Barcelona hopping from one Gaudí place to another; ate our picnic lunch in his Parc Güell. Good place for a picnic, I say.
