A message from Wilma

Dear Piggies

Hope you are all feeling well, Just wanted to let you know that me and Algernon visited Barcelona together. Here are some pictures I made during our trip.

We started in Parc Guell to get a good view of the city


Algernon admiring the view. The Sagrada Familia pops out and in the back you can see the sea

The famous lizard in Parc Guell
Next we went to the city centre for something to eat and enjoy the spanish way of life.

The fountain at Placa de Catalunya, close to the famous Ramblas street

The old city centre in the Gothic Quarter
The next day, we went to see some of the Catelan Modernista buildings

And obviously, we just had to see the famous church the Sagrada Familia from the most well known architect of the Catelan Modernism movement; mister Gaudi.

Whoah! that's big!! And the Sagrada Familia isn't even finished yet
Inside the Sagrada Familia
Mister Gaudi intended to give you the feeling that you were in a big forest once you were inside his church. In his view, going back to nature was a spiritual experience. I think he succeeded very well in doing this.

Light falling through the ceiling, just like in the forest
And finally, we said goodbye to eachother at the harbour in Barcelonetta :'-(

The setting sun..
And that, my dear piggies, were my pictures of Algernon Rat in Barcelona, Spain.
