Our first port of call was a hop on the Metro to get to La Sagrada Familia, the beautiful and staggeringly large catholic church, where we found ourselves surrounded by likeminded tourists with their selfie sticks.
It seemed apt for us to visit La Sagrada Familia along the way, since Gaudi was also the mastermind behind this breathtaking Church. I’d read up on La Sagrada Familia before our trip so was excited to see it in all it’s glory. It was fascinating to see the difference in the stone from when its construction first began, to the stone they are using now.
When we were touring the grounds, we found out that La Sagrada Familia is actually home to the tomb of Antoni Gaudi. Visitors are free to go underground to see the tomb, however we declined as we had a busy day ahead and the queues were pretty long. One other thing to note; it is probably better to arrive as early in the day as you can, as it is very crowded during peak times.
