Some cracking shots there K4  ;)
We didn't go in, the queues were along 2 sides of the block. Plus we didn't have time.
After our last cock-up going to Barcelona, we were determined to at least see some of the great places.

We went on the Thomson City tour, through the rep.
She was talking all the time we were sat on the coach about where we were going, history etc.
Itenary:
Barcelona 1992 Olympic Stadium, 15 mins photo time.
Mountainside viewing over the city. Not much cop with my jamjar zoom lens digital camera. 15 mins photo time.
Park Guell, 1 hour photo time.
Sagrada Familiia, 1 hour photo time with the rep giving a constant chat about it.
Then the coach dropped us in the main square at the top of La Ramblas, 2 1/2 hour free time, photo time etc.
We walked down La Ramblas to the harbour, across the harbour, then back up past the Gothic Cathederal through the pedestrianised street. Had a bite to eat etc.

I'll try to get more photo's on photobucket in a more organised fashion.

Same man here; (With the missus) (taken in 2010)

The rep tours are a bit full on for us, we prefer to do it all at a much slower pace.
We visited Park Guell on honeymoon, lots of special memories...some of them include the wife.

Sagrada Familia. 27 photos. The Unfinished Cathederal.
Should be finished by 2035, but they need the road space on the right hand side of the Cathederal to finish it.
Some demolition of exiting buildings 'may', also happen. Let's see  ;)

Reus, 33 photos.
Gaudi lived in Reus, but never designed any of the buildings in Reus  ???
He didn't even speak Spanish, he spoke Catalunya/Catalunia whatever the pronunciation   :)
It's akin to English and Scotish. Same country, different dialect.
See, I told you that tour guide was good  ;)

Where ever I lay my hat, that's my home.
Well, for a couple of weeks anyway. Here's Our_Lass's lucky doggy.
She comes everywhere with us  8)



I'm done for now. The lack of sleep, and a few beers is slowing me down  :-X

Enjoyed looking at the photo's Fly - you have been busy.
What was that thing in the centre of the mosaic floor in Park Guell?
It looks like a crab with wings.

And they share the same saint and flag as us, St George.

Some good pics there Fly, Barcelona looks a bit quiet, but the Spanish tend to go on holiday at this time of year too.

Some of ours from Parc Guell, they are old film ones that I have had to scan in so not very good quality.
