You definitely do have to go back. Both the inside and outside evoked similar feelings of awe as did the caves at Gouffre de Padirac

Never hear of that but it is pretty.

he light and different colours from the stained glass was awesome.

I was so impressed with how the the 'trees' were made of different stone so different colours which just added to the forest effect.

Lyle thought flowers but I like your take.

It really was a wonderful few days even with the heat.

I'm kicking myself for not visiting Sagrada Familia when I was in Barcelona! I guess I'll have to go back.

welcome home!

beer caps?

What an incredible adventure you have had. Gorges, Pyrenees, delectable food and then to end it with the Sagrada Familia! What a trip! Pizza for your first night home looks delicious! Chefs on top of being food connoisseurs and intrepid trip planners! Enjoy your summer at home. ( Where to next?🥰)

We’re easy to find!

Oh, good. I’ll know how to find you when we pass through Canmore next month.

Just re-read your post …. I’d forgotten that you’d toured the Sagrada just last year, and honest …. I didn’t cut and paste a couple of your photo’s into our post ….. it just looks that way! Some scenes and places are just naturals for everyone to take a shot of! Amazing place and it will be high on the list to return to.

We’ve had a similar exposure to the Sagrada Familia. We first saw it in 1997 when it was still skeletal and we could ride an elevator high up inside; and then we revisited it in 2018 and we’re stunned by the transformation. Like yourselves, we’ll have to make it back for another look someday.

Here’s our take on the experience: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/europe2022/the-sagrada-familia/

You’re right, words aren’t really sufficient to describe what an astonishing place this is. All the light!
