Barcelona Spain

The day after Nice! We took the bus to Barcelona, Spain! O how we loved Spain! We saw people constantly sweeping the sidewalks and overall it was a very clean city including the subway which was very different from France! As we exited the subway we walked only a few steps and that is when we first saw Sagada Familla and it was beautiful! We met this nice old French lady who helped us find where we needed to go and Than after walking with us a few blocks gave us one of those traditional two check kiss. We stayed at The Generator where we had our own room at this hostel which was very the largest room we've had. It was modern and with them being open for only 78 days quite new. The next day we got on Hop on Hop off buss where they drive to all the main tourist stops via a open double decker bus  all day and than you decide where to get off and when to get back on . It was challenging to find and we had bought the pass through bus about but when we got there they said they had never seen that voucher! We managed to get on and we started our tour though the city. The buildings in the city were unique clean and colorful built with beautiful Spanish architecture. We stopped at Sagada Familla which was draw dropping. After waiting over an hour we were able to go inside the building. Now the building itself is still being built and will be finished in2026, when completed it will have 18 towers( 12 disciples,4 evangelist, Mary, and the largest tower will be Christ) it has a few sciences carved on the outside of the building including the Nativity ( the oldest part) , the crucifixion, and I believe it was there was also the judgment. We couldn't see them all because they were working on them. Once  inside it was even better! I can't even describe it! It had to be my favorite place we've seen. It is especially unlike any other church we've seen! The others can be dark this one was very light  and you could see nature through out it, the columns look like the trunk with the roof looking like the leaves and branches. The pictures on the camera really don't do it Justice. Since they  are still working on we got to see them put in a stain glass window. After that we went to the artist of Sagada Familla house with a surrounding park which he designed also, located with a spectacular view of the city. As with anything in Europe the hiked some stairs and a nice step hill at the top they have their iconic mosaic lizard. At the bottom of the hill we found this little shop that had some amazing prices! So my mom got a mosaic looking shirt and I got some really cute scarves for only €2 and € 3! We than rode the bus around the city... I got smacked by a tree while on the bus, and than we went back to The Generator)
