On 16 December, I took a flight to Barcelona
|
|
 |
|
with Fairuz and Isabelle
|
|
 |
|
After checking into our hostel, we had dinner wif isabelle's mum
|
|
 |
|
It was vegetarian buffet. Yummy!!
|
|
 |
|
Sagrada Familia greets us the next morning
|
|
 |
|
Met Sue Ann
|
|
 |
|
and took photos with her
|
|
 |
|
In Sagrada, there are many columns like this
|
|
 |
|
with flowers and forest concept
|
|
 |
|
When finished, this is what sagrada is suppose to look like
|
|
 |
|
Had the chance to touch the stone used for its construction
|
|
 |
|
Look at the colours of Sagrada's interior. Like in a dream
|
|
 |
|
Then we went up to the tower
|
|
 |
|
Got a close up on Gaudi's designs
|
|
 |
|
and magnificent view of the city
|
|
 |
|
Last shot from 160 feet above ground

After about two hours at Sagrada
|
|
 |

It only costs £25 inc taxes for flight to Barcelona. Went there for three days and enjoyed myself. Barcelona reminds me of Malaysia in a way with all the constructions and motorcycles. 
Anyways, here are some of the photos in barcelona in no particular order.
