Barcelona

Barthelona ith awethome. Yes, that is how they say Barcelona here in this part of Spain .They turn all their “s”s into “ths”. It is because in the Costa Brava the part of Spain we were, in people speak Catalan not Spanish which has caused some confusing conversations. Anyways, we were in Spain staying in this popular area, relaxing on the beach for a few days until we go to Morocco. Before all that we had to go see the sites of Barcelona.

Walking around Barcelona I noticed that there were many Desigual, stores so many they were like Starbucks in Vancouver. They were on every corner. While walking around we saw the Basilica Segrada Familia which is a massive church that started construction over a hundred years ago by the architect, Antoni Gaudi and is still being built today. It is supposed to be complete by 2028 but judging from the plans and how much they still have to do, they will be cutting it pretty close to their deadline. It is a much more modern style of church than anything we've seen yet.
