GAUDI (by Grace)











Yesterday, we arrived at the town of Barcelona. We found a really nice, fancy hotel to stay at. After we settled in, we started our regular evening walk. We started down the busy streets of the town and made our way to the masterpieces of Gaudi. Gaudi was a a famous architect during the early 1900s. That evening we went and saw the church named Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. Gaudi was working on this church before he died. He never finished the brilliant church. He did do one side, called the Nativity facade. The opposite facade of Gaudi's original work is the Passion facade. The Passion facade is made with a whole different style. The work is blocky and is by another architect. Many people think that it doesn't go well with the church and I agree. We also saw an apartment building by Gaudi called La Pedrera. It was very weird. We had a good first day.
