Started off with La Seu, the Catedral.

Before exploring L'Eixample-district, and the Modernisme-sites. First was La Manza de la Discordia, a block on Pg. Gracia-street that contains several of Gaudi's-works!!

Then a metro-ride to Hospital Sant Pau, designed by a compatriot of Gaudi.

Onto, La Sagrada Familia started by Gaudi, under-construction for 125-years, all by donation!! A monstrosity, that will be twice as-tall when done, there are real-fears it could be damaged by the high-speed rail-lines underneath :-(.

And finally, after a few miss-starts during the week, I was able to see the fantastic water/light/music-show of Fuenta Magica on Montjuic, very nice way to wrap-up!!

And one last-pic of Gaudi's La Pedera....my-copy of a postcard ;-).
