Here is our 4th day in Barcelona where we got to explore as well as receive a tour of La Sagrada Familia, considered one of the greatest inspired works by Antonio Gaudí. They say that it should be completed in 2026, but we’ll have to come back to see. What an inspiring work and creative in ways that I wouldn’t have expected. Definitely a must see for anyone who ventures to Spain. Later that day we also got to spend Thanksgiving with Dave’s family which was great and it’s too bad we didn’t have more time together.

Yes, it definitely stands out especially when taking in the city from a mirador.

The Nativity facade, which is also the oldest.

This is your first view as you look towards the passion facade.

The glass is absolutely break taking and really serves several purposes. If you look close in this photo you can see some of the designs with the contrast in colors as well as the writing.

Looking from the east end of the church towards the west, which they are finishing.

Looking straight up at the ceiling.

The glass on the south side of the church opposing the blues and greens.

Looking towards the Nativity facade.

The door to the arch of Faith, Hope and Charity.

This is 1 of 3 arches on the Nativity facade, the Gate of Jesus.

A close up where you can see that some figures are a lot newer than others due to some of the destruction during the Spanish civil war.

A full view of the Gate of Jesus.

The arch of the Tree of Life.

This is the door that leads out to the Passion facade. I had to wait several minutes to get a clear shot.

The crucifixion.

Looking to the right of the crucifixion.

If you look up you can see JC a little off center between the towers.
