The Sagrada Familia is a must-see site when you go to Barcelona.
Walk around it, very very slowly, and you will be amazed - dumbfounded - by its magnanimity …. it’s like…. you are in a different universe! there is simply nothing like it!!!!!

Each side of the Basilica comes with an entirely different design - one side will be gothic, then another will be Art Nouveau, etc..

The construction started in late 19th century and is continuing until now.

TAPAS, TAPAS and TAPAS!

A trip to Barcelona is not complete without trying their tapas. You sit at the counter and choose from the many small plates of food displayed in front of you - patatas bravas (fried cubed potatoes), bocarones (fried small fish), calamares (fried squid), chorizo..awesome!

Mind-blowing! a gastronomic paradise! even if you do not have cooking facilities, you are bound to find something you can eat in your hotel room! you can also buy cooked food (like our carinderia) and they all taste deelicious!
