Not only does the
rain in Spain fall mostly on the plain, it also falls in Barcelona.
We booked our
La Sagrada de Familia visitor tickets on line for 9:45
am but arrive 20 minutes early and told to come back at the
appointed time. Wandering about in the rain is no fun. Eventually the clock ticks over to the appropriate time and we are allowed to enter. The building is simply stunning and each intricate
carving and coloured window is explained through the included audio
guide. Some Costa Coffee is consumed following the cathedral tour as
we plan our afternoon trip to
Park Guell. The rain is getting a
little heavier as we board the metro. Following signs to the Park, we
climb stairs, ride out door escalators and battle steep paths to
reach our destination. Apparently this place was originally intended
to be a housing estate, but only a few were built. The raincoats get a real workout during the outdoor parts of the
wander and as a result and against my better judgement, we spend more
time in the shelter of souvenir shops.
