Photo Friday: Gaudi’s fruity cathedral. Barcelona, Spain; October 2008 We spent five days in Barcelona, staying in an apartment about two blocks from La Sagrada Familia (The Sacred Family), the famous cathedral designed by Antoni Gaudi.
It’s worth seeing for two reasons. Firstly, the architecture is startlingly original – it really is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. The building reminded me of a giant wax sculpture – all melted curves and tapering spires.
