Our final Day in Barcelona and in Spain: Gaudi

SAGRADA FAMILIA de Gaudi

Built in the late 1800's and has not been completed since the death of the architect, Antonio Gaudi, whose genius is unmatched and his plans have disappeared.  He was tragically run-over by a tram on the way to work on his cathedral.  Work has continued...slowly... since then to try and finish his work.  But no one is quite to his level, even in 2011.

Notice the detail.

The structure perfectly reflects light and sound throughout the cathedral and can hold a church choir of 1,000!


Here are 4 of the choir, singing such church faves as "Waving Flag" and "Waka, Waka".

Notice the lighting.





It's quite a sight to see...


Some houses built by Gaudi in 1906-1910.
