poor thing :)

The inside was beautiful and colorful in ways that the other cathedrals we've seen, were not:

We did the tower tour, which had decent views, but it was still work in progress (top is still being built):

the stairs were truly bad ass

The museum attached to the cathedral gave lots of details on the history and the build, as well as Gaudi's life:

Gaudi used nature for many of his designs

Guudi also used a gravity upside down model

Definitely one of a kind, worth the visit.

Next was Casa Mila which also had stupid waits, even in end of September, but as good capitalists, they sell skip the line (expensive) online tickets:

one of the building's arches has a view on the unfinished Sagrada Familia

Gaudi used an interesting engineering principle of suspending structures upside down and using gravity to help see ideal building shapes

Down the street was his Casa Batllo, another expensive visit with more expensive skip the line tickets I was able to get:

Another of his buildings was Guel Palace, which we saw just before leaving Barcelona:

another nice roof

And for good measure, the city also had a Gaudi museum:
