Barcelona - never without Gaudi :)
September 21, 2011
Gaudí devoted his last years to the project of Sagrada Familia and at the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete. Sagrada Família's construction progressed slowly as it relied on private donations and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War—only to resume intermittent progress in the 1950s. Construction passed the mid-point in 2010 with some of the project's greatest challenges remaining and an anticipated completion date of 2026—the centennial of Gaudí's death, tells Wikipedia.

Of course we can see at first this gentleman looking at the sea - Kristopher Kolumbus.

And then we learned to know some of Antoni Gaudi`s ( 1852 - 1926 ) works.
-
The family,which ordered this house from Gaudi, never accepted it - it was too different to them.
