My last stop on the Spain visit was Barcelona. There were so many things to see. I took a Gaudi tour and was able to see most of their creations, from the Sagrada Familia to Park Guell. Compared to Madrid, Barcelona had a much more relaxed atmosphere. I also walked around and stopped by a souvenir shop to pick up some FC Barcelona memorabilia for my brothers.
