1. Tha Segrada Familia is an amazing building that seems not to have been designed but to have grown out of the earth. Gaudi drew beautiful organic designs and the Cathedral resembles a forest of trees with the light shining through. It is very beautiful in a very unconventional way.
It was full of people in almost every corner and then we came upon this little girl apparently all alone and whimpering. However, we realised that she was taking a photo of her parents who were completely out of our sight and she clearly felt that she was too far away from them.

2. Some lovely street art, from tile work to graffiti follows.
3. It was a festival day in Barcelona and the streets were packed with entertainers and people enjoying themselves. There was a choir that moved me greatly, about150 of them, a water play park for children, balloons and a card man. Look carefully at his photo. He was carrying a baize card table and was inviting people of different languages to play a simple card game together. He wanted to show that people can get on and have fun together without sharing language or culture.
