2. Colonia Guell Gaudi Crypt

Gaudi’s most hidden treasure, the Gaudi Crypt which is located inside the Colonia Guell, a textile village packed with surprises just 20 minutes outside Barcelona. The Crypt is the church of twisted columns, the laboratory for the Sagrada Familia which was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2005.

Described as his most hidden treasure, the 'Gaudí Crypt' is located in Colonia Guell, an industrial village that was built by Eusebi Guell around his textile factory.
Guell had begun work on Colonia Guell in 1890 after the textile factory was moved away from the social conflicts in the city of Barcelona. His factory made felt and corduroy and Guell aimed to build a village around the factory to house his workers. The village was designed to provide spacious living accommodation for his workers, that was almost rent free. A school was constructed to educate the boys of the village, and to develop them as future workers. A convent was established where the nuns provided child care duties and educated the girls. There was a doctor's office, a community centre and open recreational spaces. It was hoped that the all-inclusive village life would engender worker loyalty and minimise worker unrest. Guell employed a number of architects to design the village but he turned to his friend Antoni Gaudí to design and build the village church.
Gaudí was actually commissioned to design the church in 1898 and he subsequently carried out various preliminary studies, including building a model of the church. Interestingly, Guell gave Gaudí free-reign on the design and didn't even stipulate a budget or completion date. Construction commenced in 1908 on a design that foresaw two naves (upper and lower) topped by towers and a high central dome. The building brought together all of Gaudí's innovations into a single project and has been considered a laboratory for the Basilica de la Sagrada Familia.
Gaudí had only completed the lower nave by 1914 when the Guell family withdrew funding for the church. Gaudí abandoned the project and concentrated all of his efforts on Sagrada Familia.
Despite being unfinished, the church (referred to as Gaudí's Crypt) is still an impressive building. Rather than using buttresses or supporting walls, the construction relies on a combination of leaning pillars and catenary arches. Inside the church, the four main load-bearing columns are made of basalt and lean inwards at a significant angle. The brickwork ceiling is particularly beautiful, as are the stained glass windows that grace the walls of the church. Gaudí brings a touch of nature into the church with the use of giant clam shells as washbasins near the entrance door and as a baptism font near to the altar. He also designed the wrought iron and wood pews for the church (replicas have taken their place today). In another familiar Gaudí touch, the exterior is decorated with ceramic mosaic tiles.
The crypt, and the village of Colonia Guell, is a 25 minute train ride away from Place Espanya in Barcelona. The admission fee is €9, but a combination ticket can be purchased (either online or at the train station ticket machine) that includes the admission and the return train fare for €15. The admission fee includes an electronic audio guide that provides narration regarding the church as well as some of the buildings of the surrounding village. A driving licence or other form of ID must be left at the information office as a security deposit for the audio guide. 90 minutes is sufficient to view the church and the village but there are a couple of restaurants and a bar in the village for those who wish to extend their visit.
The church/crypt is the main attraction but the village is worth a short walk and there is also an educational exhibit inside the information office. In my view it is worth the train ride and the reasonable admission fee.

Nice park, but the roses and other plants were in need of some major work. The plants were diseased and not deadheaded. The layout is good.

One of the best Karting tracks I have been on, has multiple levels including Bridges and tunnels!! The karts are good quality with plenty of speed behind you on the home straight / curve! Decent briefing prior to hitting the track, would of liked to have a bit longer on the track although it is tiring due to the heat inside the venue! Decent bar and there was also race car simulators for children! It is worth noting that the venue is about a 20-25 minute drive out of Barcelona but if booking through an agent they can arrange a mini bus transfer thrown in the price!

6. Spain Day Tours

The tours offered through the cruise line were much pricier than we felt they should have been. Our friends traveling with us on the cruise suggested Spain Day Tours for the Cadiz / Seville excursion. We weren't the only ones, and there were actually two buses full of others from our ship that chose the Spain Day Tour option. We were very, very pleased with the Tour company and the tour itself. Comfortable bus ride right from outside of the gate at the port. The tour guide on the bus explained many interesting things about the area during the ride. When we reached our first stop, our bus was split into two groups (about 15 people per group) and we had a woman tour guide for Seville. Our guide was Rachel and if you can request to be in her group, I strongly encourage that. Her English is exceptional and her knowledge and humor kept the morning lively and interesting. We were awed by the Alcázar, which is NOT to be missed. Being part of the tour, we didn't have to wait in line at all. Again, Rachel's knowledge and information truly made it even more enjoyable. At the end of the Alcázar portion there was some free time, and we thought we would be seeing Rachel again to give her a nice gratuity, but she had left and our original guide from the bus was at the meeting point to take us back. We felt so badly, as we had really wanted to show her our appreciation. So please note that your guide won't be the same one after the Alcázar tour finishes. Seville was an amazing city and we're so very pleased to have booked the Spain Day Tour. We will definitely use them again for future travel.
7. Basilica of the Sagrada Familia

The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia is a monumental church devoted to the Holy Family: Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Construction began in 1882, based on plans drawn up by the architect Francisco de Paula del Villar, and Antoni Gaudi was commissioned to continue the project in 1883. The Temple has always been an expiatory church, built only from donations. As Gaudi said: "The Expiatory Church of the Sagrada Familia is made by the people and is mirrored in them. It is a work that is in the hands of God and the will of the people." In 2010, Pope Benedict XVI consecrated the site as a minor basilica.

Brilliant stadium to watch football in. Watched Espanyol take on Deportivo la Coruna last Sunday. We were right up in the top corner of the stadium and still had a great view of the proceedings down below. Some good football on show too, although it lacked a goal to seal off a great night in Barcelona. Very sleek and modern stadium, looks great inside and out.

Fuimos para hacer el Room de Glitterland y al entrar el vídeo nos pareció un poco dejado ya que muchas de las imágenes estaban muuuy pixeladas, cosa que no ayuda a la teórica inmersión.
La cosa cambia cuando entras en la sala. Al principio la decoración nos pareció un poco simple pero al seguir con la aventura da un cambio radical cuando te adentras en Glitterland. La historia nos recordó bastante a cierta película de ciencia ficción.
Las pruebas son muy variadas y entrelazan habilidad mental y motora, cosa que se agradece aunque para ello todo debe estar en perfecto estado de mantenimiento y diría que una de las piezas tenía la batería baja y nos costó una burrada avanzar.
En general un buen room escape que pueden hacer tanto los principiantes como los expertos.
