Barcelona has an amazing mixture of new and old architecture. Today we have old. Construction on this cathedral began in the 13th century and was completed two-hundred years later. My time was limited, so I didn’t step foot inside, but managed to wrestle through the crowds, set the tripod up in its low position, and patiently wait until tourists–looming overhead–dispersed. This awesome narrow passageway has a unique skyline filled with gargoyles. My favorite is the unicorn with the great big fangs. I guess they had to make it scary.
