The next day we packed our bags and headed to BARCELONA! Barcelona may have to be one of my favorite places I've been (Florence is still #1 I think.. Barcelona is probably a close 2nd). Our first day, we walked around, explored the sites a little, drank some beers, the usual. We got to see the Barcelona Arc de Triumph!
sooo adorable.
And walked to the beach...
cool building
crazy fish thing by Frank Gehry
beach!!!!! kind of blurry because it was kind of dark...
And of course.. BEERS!
really big beers
The next day was Gaudi Day. We walked around .. checking out the sites... Jay was NOT a fan of all the walking (me either really)...
Casa Batllo ... oooooo.... ahhhhhh
Casa Milo!
And of course... the Masterpiece...
La Sagrada Familia!
Seriously cannot tell you how stunning it was on the interior. Pictures do it no justice.. but I'll still show you some because I took SO MANY.
so. pretty.
love.
The stained glass was my favorite part. It was just blocks of color, so vibrant and beautiful and it just made the space so amazing. I really hope that stained glass is going in all the windows in the unfinished part. (Sagrada Familia is still under construction. Scheduled to be done in 2016? I believe.)
stained glass
so amazing. almost magical?
We also went to the top of one of the towers.. which was pretty cool.
yayyyy
and of course.. the other facade:
pretty B.A.
The next day we checked out Park Gruell? spelling? Which gave us AMAZING views of Barcelona.
Sagrada Familia standing tall

The actual park was pretty cool too...

As architecture students, we also had to go to the Barcelona Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe! Duh. It was pretty awesome.

So thats all for barcelona.. but I almost forgot one of the most important parts! ICE BARCELONA.
