Choose your Church of Barcelona

We visited 2 outstanding churches in Barcelona - both wonderful and so very different from each other.

The first one was the gothic cathedral, which is oneof the most beautiful churches we have ever seen.

The second one was the 'Sacred Family", still not complete after being started in the late 1800s.  The architect was Gaudi but since he was run over by a tram in the 1920s, work has continued for nearly another century.

It is like apples and oranges - not everyone likes the same.  We will show you the photos and you can decide for yourself.

We loved them both.  tell us your preference.  Just to complicate matters we are in Palma di Mallorca and have seen a further contender here.  We will post the photos in a few days as we are at sea tomorrow and in Tunis the next day.Choose

Josh also votes for the Gothic Cathedral because he says it looks like the castle at Disneyland. What a holy boy he is.
