"Dormir es la mejor meditacion"
"Sleep is the best meditaion"
Dalai Lama

On the pillows is small calling cards for the hotel we're you can read the saying above.
Today we're going to see the masterpiece of Antoni Gaudí, La Sagrada Familia. Parts of the unfinished church and Gaudí's models and workshop were destroyed during the war. The present design is based on reconstructed versions of the lost plans. It's interesting the unfinished and still constructed church it's still a working place as it was during Gaudí's time, what a tourist attraction.



Not an alien it's the ceiling of La Sagrada Familia

After the visit to La Sagrada Familia we walk to Parc Guell designed by Gaudí. The park was originally part of a commercially unsuccessful housing site. But only two houses were built neither of them designed by Gaudí.

The Park


Reminds me of Dr Seuss The Cat in the Hat




Somehow we manage to loose our map so we need to get another one at the tourist information. And then we end the day at Starbucks.
P.S Everytime we're going back to the hotel we get lost and we end up walking around for hours, before we find our way. All the streets look the same, and when it's dark it's even harder.
