The Passion Façade

This side is very harsh and angular. It depicts Jesus' last night before the crucifixion, the crucifixion and the ascension. You can see part of it to the right was under construction.

Ongoing construction

Constuction started in 1882 and has continued since then. It was interrupted for the SPanish Civil War and relies in private donations. It has progressed very slowly. I did read that they have begun the final phase of construstion. Hopefully finishing in 2030 or 2032.

Tickets

First stop, buy a ticket! Like many high-profile churches, it's not free. The money does go to finishing the church.

Casa Milá

The first stop was Casa Milá or La Pedrera by Gaudí. We didn't get off at this stop. We wanted the next stop first. If we had time, we'd come back.

Empty streets

I think it was time for siesta. There was no one around. The streets were pretty empty. It couldn't have been just because of the rain.

Taxi

It was too late to explore Barcelona so we caught a taxi back to the hotel. Our taxi driver had never heard of our hotel. Our conversation was hilarious. He ended up looking it up on his phone.
