☘️The first reason to go to Barcelona: Visit Gaudi's Sagrada Familia Cathedral, Casa Mila Casablanca, and Park Guell
🌳Sagrada Familia Cathedral (Sagrada Familia Cathedral)
The exterior of the cathedral, Gaudi's best work, was amazing
The detailed carvings and high towers seemed to show the greatness of architecture that is difficult to explain
However, when I entered the cathedral, I was speechless and the sacredness that was difficult to express came over me even without religion
I just looked at the light coming through the stained glass, the sculptures and pillars inside the white cathedral, and the beautiful sculptures on the high ceiling
🌲Caramilla Casablanca
The characteristics of Gaudi's architecture are well expressed Buildings
🌴 Guell Park
A luxury urban housing complex built by Gaudi

Taking a mountain train up to the monastery

The view when you enter Ronda is wow! It was so beautiful that I could see the serpents coming out of their shells

Across the bridge, the buildings of souvenir shops and ice cream shops were both pretty, and the rounded street trees had orange-like fruits hanging on them, which was also a very pretty sight
It was a shame that I didn't have time to stay long
