Barcelona

Fresh off of the plane from Morocco, Jon and I capped off our spring break with a weekend in Barcelona, one of my favorite cities so far.

Our time in Barcelona was very limited. We got into town in mid-afternoon on Friday, and our flight was first thing Sunday morning. However, I quickly soaked up my favorite thing about Catalonian culture: the architecture.

The most famous works of Spanish architect Antoni Gaudi lie within Barcelona. He's designed everything from apartment buildings to a park to a massive church. We toured the later two: Parc Guell and Sagrada Familia. Instead of attempting to describe, Gaudi's incredibly beautiful and distinctive style, I'll load a few pictures of his work I took.
