    The grandeur and magic of the Sagrada Familia are enough to make you forget all your regrets. This forest-like structure, modeled after nature by Gaudí, is breathtaking both inside and out, absolutely worth the ticket price! The only pity was that we went on a cloudy day. The travel guides said that on a sunny afternoon around 4 pm, the light inside the church would be amazing, but unfortunately we didn't experience that. There were so many people! The queue at the entrance was incredibly long, and it was packed inside. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet in places like this to prevent theft! Finally, a tip: the souvenir shop selling those viral fridge magnets is inside the church! We bought several, which was the biggest consolation for not seeing the sunshine. In short, it's a divine place, just make sure to check the weather forecast before you go.

    The palace is magnificent in its architecture and opulent inside, adorned with numerous pieces of furniture, sculptures, and famous paintings. There's no time limit for visiting, and you can revisit the tour route. However, to be honest, without a guide, it's difficult to appreciate its significance; it's like rushing through a book and taking a few photos without really understanding what you're seeing. Audio guides are available for rent at five euros per person. Each ticket has a designated time for entry, but it's not strictly enforced; you can enter early or late as you wish.

    It's pretty, like a cartoon house, but not as exaggeratedly beautiful as the ones on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book). It's still worth a visit as a photo spot. Personally, I prefer Gaudi's shops; they're more interesting. It wasn't too crowded either.

    For tickets booked through Ctrip, you should choose the gold card option; it grants immediate entry and allows access to more attractions. I bought Blue tickets on Ctrip, but upon arrival, I was charged extra to upgrade to a gold card, which included a Chinese-language guided tour. The final video and photo opportunities were fantastic.

    Casa Milà, located at the corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Passeig de Provenca in Barcelona, ​​Spain, was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí between 1906 and 1912. As Gaudí's last private residential project, Casa Milà encapsulates the architectural language of his mature period and is a pinnacle of the Art Nouveau style's curvilinear aesthetic. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as a museum, it has become a pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and tourists worldwide. Gaudí is a paragon of the organic integration of liberalism and modernism. He believed that "straight lines belong to man, curves belong to God," and the design of Casa Milà is entirely inspired by nature, imitating the forms of rocks, waves, and plants. The building's exterior, known as "La Pedrera" (meaning "quarry"), features an undulating, wave-like facade resembling a natural mountain, devoid of straight lines or right angles, presenting a sense of natural flow. Inside, the curves of the columns and staircases resemble tree trunks and caves, while the ceiling textures mimic leaf veins and ocean waves, conveying a tribute to the vitality of nature from the outside in. The roof of Casa Milà is the most iconic part of Gaudí's entire architectural work: 30 oddly shaped chimneys and vents exist like sculptures, some resembling warriors, others like monsters (I personally feel they look like some masks from Sanxingdui), perfectly combining functionality (smoke extraction, ventilation) with artistry. The undulating roof enhances the sculptural feel of the building, and standing on it offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

    The museum is located in an old building and has quite a lot of exhibits, but it can be a bit disorienting to explore. It's worth checking out if you like painting. Photography is not allowed inside. Retiro Park is nearby, so you can also visit it.

    I chose the Cathedral of Seville over the Royal Palace of Seville. First, the Columbus coffin: Columbus's coffin is housed within the cathedral. The sarcophagus, adorned with statues of knights from the Four Ancient Kingdoms carrying the coffin, is a symbol of Spain's Golden Age of Exploration. The most notable part of Seville Cathedral, constructed with large amounts of gold, is the main altar's sculptures depicting the life of Christ, depicting various stages of Christ's life. Seville Cathedral is one of the five largest cathedrals in the world, third in size after St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican and Milan Cathedral in Italy. It is also the world's largest Gothic cathedral. The story is particularly fascinating.

    The entrance is small, in the city center. Be sure to get the audio guide first. Each painting has a story. I spent three hours looking at it carefully! You can walk to Casa Milà and see the scenery of Barcelona along the way! It's a great time!
