In Barcelona, we started our day with a walk down Las Ramblas, a major pedestrian thoroughfare. This is the only port for which we have any guidance from Rick Steves, so we were prepared to see the sights. After a nice stroll up and down Las Ramblas, we took the metro to the Church of the Sacred Family, which has been under construction for over 100 years. After a tour through Europe, I thought I had seen every type of cathedral there was to see. I was wrong. The Sacred Family is amazing to look at with its detailed “cake in the rain” facades, spiraling columns, and gorgeous interior. Despite the high admission price, this church is definitely worth a visit for anyone in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
After the church, we headed back to Las Ramblas to eat at a nice mini-sandwich place recommended by Rick Steves. \u00a0The sandwiches (1.95 Euro each) were small, but delicious. \u00a0I wish I could remember the name of the place so I could recommend it to others.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
