Casa Batlló - one of Gaudí's outrageous confections
A detail of the Pedrera, another Gaudí must-see
In the roof space of the Pedrera
On top of the Pedrera, chimneys shaped like knights
Now that's what I call a skylight!
Organic - almost human - looking architecture
The Sagrada Família, Gaudí's magnum opus - and still being built
The knights remind us of the chimneys on La Pedrera
A splash of colour
Intricate interior
The symbol of Barcelona
One of the main stairwells in the towers
Each of the (what will be) 12 spires is dedicate to an Apostle
Christian & I overcome our fear of the perilously low balconies
Another staircase, this one more like a snail shell
It's really massive!
Weird to see a big church with workman's tools lying around
The other end of the church (finished while Gaudí was still alive) looks like it's melting
Photographer photographed
Lots more has been built since I last visited
After frenetic sightseeing, a well-earned rest (and snack) in the Granja Viader milk bar & deli
The Leonese invade
And they know how to wave a flag
Some street art that reminded me of Melbourne (and Rainnie's teeshirts)
The cathedral geese - no, really! They live in the cloister
A huge mediaeval choir stall - apparently it's out of one chunk of wood
You can't get fresher than this: the Boqueria covered food market
Ah!! Jamón jamón!
Bizarrely beautiful heads
The Palau Nacional has something of Venice about it
A bendy Christ
Faithfully reconstructed romanesque frescoes
Aaaaargh!
A view from Montjuïc towards the Sagrada Família
The biggest doormat in existence - or at least, that's what this enormous Miró tapestry brings to mind
Fork it!
He did some sculptures too
Almost Chinese
The olympic stadium on Montjuïc
The weather just got better and better up on the hill!
The olympic telecoms tower catches the evening light
The Palau Nacional, deliciously ochre in the setting sun
Barceloneta, between showers
A handy cow map, like the ones I saw in Brazil
One of the more unsightly bits of architecture on offer in this city
An everyday scene in the Barri Gòtic, our home for four days
