How can an entire post not be dedicated to the man who still rules Barcelona. Feel like reading more and more and more about him just to understand how his brain worked. How could anyone come up with the Nativity facade of the Sagrada Familia. Melted wax, for sure. 
The intricacies and the attention to detail both in the facade as well as the four entrances, remarkable. 
The design of the Star of David! I hope I can someday see the finished version and I can only hope and pray that hereafter they stick to his design rather than letting it be someone else's artistic expression. 
While I appreciated the Passion facade immensely too, at Sagrada Familia would have preferred to see what Gaudi wanted.
The stained glass windows inside, the blues, the colours, the 'trees', the variety of stones and the explanation provided for their usage - absobloodylutely amazing! Also amazing, 
the depiction of Christ and the cross at the Passion facade. Have never seen the sinews of the man or felt the pain of Christ as a man as here, or even the new balance of the cross. Couldn't get a close up.And then on to La Perdera, Casa Batillo and Casa...
