The apartment we stayed in was in a great location. A huge indoor market was right next door and we scored lots of delicious food for cheap. A major bus stop was also nearby.
The next day we headed off to a nearby bus stop to get on the Hop on Hop Off bus. I liked this company best because it has three different routes around Barcelona. Our first stop was La Sagrada Família. I pre-booked tickets online which is a MUST! The line to buy tickets was wrapped around the block so be sure to buy ahead of time. We had to go at a different entrance because we had a stroller; it was the group entrance around the side.
This was a very unusual cathedral. It was beautiful and very unique. The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família was designed by Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí. Even though Gaudi died in 1926, La Sagrada Família is still under construction and is expected to finish in 2026. Gaudi dedicated half of his life to this church and it has all been funded by donation.
After we toured the La Sagrada Família, we jumped back on the bus to tour the rest of Barcelona. Here are some photos of the beautiful city. The architecture in this city is truly unique and I could stare at them for hours.
I was so excited to put our toes in the sand!
Off we go to the Barcelona Zoo!
Rob could not pass up the chance to ride a golf cart around the zoo.
I do not know who had more fun, Rob or Rand.
After a full day of sightseeing we ended the evening with an interesting ride on the bus with Rand. Poor kid was super tired but very excited about his front row seat!
