Any visit to Barcelona wouldnt be complete without...

Any visit to Barcelona wouldnt be complete without a tour of this amazing landmark building!! This is indeed Gaudi's absolute masterpiece extraordinaire...and it looks almost surreal and magical!! The foundations were laid in 1813, but the building has yet to be completed!! This is a fine example when a building has far outlived the architect who designed it...it is due to be completed in the year 2022, and tickets for the opening ceremony have been selling like hotcakes!! For me personally, the newer additions are just pastiche, and could never measure up to the original creation by the masterful Son of Barcelona...the fact that you could clearly see the difference between the old and the new would certainly turn off some Gaudi purists, but this is a major tourist attraction, and the powers that be had to make that difficult decision...lets hope that a compromise would be achieved in the near future, upon the full completion of La Sagrada Familia...
