The Sagrada Familia (Basilica and Expiatory Church of the Holy Family) is the most iconic symbol of Barcelona and the most visited landmark in the whole of Spain.It is considered to be the best example of Modernist architecture designed by Antoni Gaudí and every day thousands of tourists explore this curious but unfinished temple.The construction of the structure began in 1882. It was designed initially in a Neo-Gothic style. A year later it was commissioned to the Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí, who redesigned it entirely. He drafted a remarkable and original basilica that was to have 18 towers. However, he died before he could complete this chef d’oeuvre, having only built one of the church’s towers. Gaudí passed away in 1926, leaving his most important project, unfinished. Nevertheless, his work continues to be built to this day by renowned architects. The money for the construction is obtained by the many visits to this impressive visit and various donations.

Las Ramblas is often the first landmark that most tourists identify with the city. It is a large boulevard which runs through the heart of the city centre. It is filled with Barcelona action at its best.Las Ramblas is approximately 1.2 kilometres long with Port Vell (near the cruise port terminal) at the Southern most end and Plaça de Catalunya at the northern most end. If you have your back to Port Vell and you are looking up towards Catalunya along the Ramblas on your left hand side is the Raval area and on your right-hand side is the Barri Gòtic (or Gothic Quarter). Las Ramblas can also be roughly divided into seedy and non-seedy areas. This distinction between seedy and non-seedy becomes a lot clearer during the night time when the Southern most end of the Ramblas becomes something of a red light district and is frequented by night women

El Corte Inglés is Spain's largest department store and your absolute best bet if you need to pick up anything from adapters to socks to another carry-on in which to stash all of your new goods. The nine-floor store in Plaça de Catalunya is surprisingly easy to navigate. As well as the things you'd expect to find in a department store, there is also a supermarket, pharmacy, optician, foreign exchange counter, travel agency and a beauty salon. Shop your way to the top floor and reward yourself with a drink and a bite to eat in the café La Rotonda. We recommend a short 20 minutes stop here to have a quick look inside but you can decide to skip it or to stay longer inside as per your choice.

As the last project Gaudí took on before he passed away, Casa Milà is actually considered to be the pinnacle of his career. It was originally designed to house the wealthy families of Barcelona. You may also hear it referred to as La Pedrera (meaning “stone quarry”), a name that came about due to the vast amount of stone used to construct the building and the many features that seem to come from nature.
