Today we went to Park Güell and the Sagrada Familia with Chrissy and Chris. We also walked past the houses on the ‘Block of Discord’ where we were blocked from viewing them yesterday due to the discord among the residents of Catalonia.

Park Güell was designed by Antoni Guadí. It originally was going to be a housing development.

The construction of the Sagrada Familia was started in 1882 and taken over by Guadí in 1883, and he worked on it until his death in 1926. It may be done by 2026.

The inside was pretty amazing. We were there in the afternoon, so the sun was shining in through the very colorful stained glass windows.

Walked past the houses on the block of discord, this time without the protesters.
