When I arrived in Barcelona it was storming. Fortunately, I had packed a poncho. I found my hotel which was located near Las Ramblas, one of the most famous streets in Barcelona. It is a tree-lined pedestrian walkway that stretches 1.2 km connecting Placa de Catalunya with the Christopher Columbus Monument at the port. Immediately I realized I had not planned enough time here. It is so beautiful and there is so much to do. Later I visited the Sagrada Familia. Construction began on this enormous incomplete, roofless masterpiece by the eccentric genius Antonio Gaudi in 1882. He was run over by a tram in 1926 before he could complete his most controversial creation. The construction is still ongoing.
