Sagrada Familia is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Spain. It is a Roman Catholic church which is still under construction. It was designed by the renowned architect Antoni Gaudi. Gaudi spent over 40 years on this project but he could not see to its completion in his lifetime.
Work of construction of this master piece of Gaudi was started in 1882 and it is still being constructed. It will not be completed until 2026.
After Gaudi's death in 1926, the responsibility of continuing the job was given to other architects.
When we were in Barcelona, there was a football match in La Liga between Barcelona FC and Seville on the Saturday night. We went to the stadium half an hour before the kick-off and we managed to get three tickets for the match. The atmosphere inside the stadium was electrifying though it was not one of those crucial matches as Seville was a few rungs down the league table from Barcelona. However, we got a good glimpse of those big names like Ronaldinho, Samuel I'to and others and we can now proudly announce that we have been to the famous Nou Camp.
