I wanted to book online but the website is not particularly user friendly and we did not have ready access to a printer to print out the tickets. Anyhow we bit the bullet and headed off on the...

I remember while on the top of the hop on hop off bus we turned the corner to get the full view of this architectural beauty.

If you visit the Crazy Horse carving in the Black Hills over the years to watch the progress, you have a similar reason to visit Barcelona over the years to view the construction of this massive church. An opportunity not seen since the Middle Ages! More
