Sagrada Familia
Got there at 9:30am today to beat the crowd, but there was still a 30-min wait for the lift to the top of the church. The wait was more than worth it!!! we got up to height of about 65m and I was glad we did not opt for the walk up.

He was a geometry freak:
A Hyperbolic Paraboloid
But he used a lot of inspirations from the nature (e.g. trees).

Park Gruell
One of the most wonderful free parks is Park Gruell. Another Gaudi creation. I wonder what Barcelona is like without Gaudi!
Bad lunch
For convenience, we went to a restaurant on the Rambla. Obviously it was very touristy as they have English on the menu. The food was consistent with the touristy location. Very ordinary Paella and Tapas.
Squid ink (black) paella. Very salty
Normal paella. Very bland
Palau de la Musica Catalunya (Music hall)
Arc di Tromph
Unimpressive compared to the one in Paris
Easy dinner
We have decided to have a simple dinner as our feet can't do any more walking today. Bought some very nice Jamon Iberica from La Boqueria, some bread and fruit from a local supermarket.
