Years ago, I wanted to start exploring the continent with a trip to Italy, but I had to cancel all my plans the day before I set off. After that, it was two years of corona and work adjustments, and time passed quietly, and the idea of going to Europe seemed to fade slowly.
This time I went to Spain and Portugal, and I hit it off when I chatted with Sydney, and I planned and booked the hotel in one go, and then I was both excited and nervous about waiting. Fortunately, this time there were no surprises, no extraneous branches, no messy emergencies, my terrible psychological shadow, and finally we flew smoothly to the other side of the world.
A trip is to enjoy different scenery, to understand the colorful culture, to feel the lives of others, to think about the next life, and perhaps to hear the deep ...... of the voice that has been echoing in the depths of the heart, like a whisper that is not easy to be heard
Barcelona. After flying for more than 10 hours, I stopped in Abu Dhabi in the Middle East on the way, and the airport unexpectedly had a sense of outer space technology. After getting off the plane, we chose to rent a car and drive ourselves, and we have an international driver's license through IAA8008, which is very convenient to use abroad.
The main itinerary of Barcelona is to see the exquisite architecture and appreciate the art treasures in the museums and galleries, although I don't know much about these achievements, and I may not have a deep understanding of them, but at least stimulate the sleeping art cells and remind myself that I was once a teenager with artistic dreams.
St. Paul's Hospital of the Holy Cross in pink.
The fantastic Sagrada Familia.
The Sagrada Familia is probably one of the must-see attractions for everyone who comes to Barcelona, the dreamy lights and shadows, the magnificent architecture, these are just the highlights of the publicity, the real charm, probably only if you see it with your own eyes.
We went to the Sagrada Familia twice, once to buy a ticket a long time in advance to enter the cave inside, and once to quietly observe the details of the building outside it in the morning with the sunshine.
On the way, although the pace is hurried, it does not prevent curious eyes from capturing interesting moments everywhere. Like the huge garbage bin, and the little green man lying in the traffic light next to it.
The dove of peace released by the angel landed in front of her eyes, quietly accompanying her, as if telling about love and reluctance.
Two old men with different hair colors, seemingly silent pictures, seem to hide a thousand words through time and space.
At the end of the street is the Sagrada Familia, and from afar, you can feel a strong sense of atmosphere.
The Sagrada Familia is a rectangular in plan, with an irregular multi-column, asymmetrical Gothic church, the main structure consists of 5 naves and 3 side naves, which is very majestic from a distance.
Walking through the streets of Spain, you will find that this country full of art and enthusiasm is full of unique architecture, and many of them are well-preserved historical buildings that bear witness to the country's history.
Bright flowers contrast with them, colorful decorations and paintings complement them, walking on the stone road soaked by time, you can not only feel the weight of history, accept the influence of culture, but also experience the harmony and beauty of the coexistence of nature and the city, infecting the enthusiasm and romance in the bones of the Spaniards.
These scenery seems to be a moving poem, which makes people can't help but want to stop and look more closely at the bricks, tiles, people, trees, and customs contained in them. Unconsciously, the soul seems to be completely relaxed and nourished here, and the pleasure from the heart quietly creeps up to the corners of the mouth.
It was another precious experience, carrying countless wonderful memories
