Sagrada Familia
We visited the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona again in 2025, the year they projected to have the cathedral completed.

Over the years of visiting the city, we have watched this magnificent cathedral grow from the vision of Antoni Gaudi.
What makes this experience unique is that it is not a finished monument, but a living one. Each visit reveals something new: another tower, section completed and another piece of the vision coming into form. It is rare to witness a structure of this scale still in the process of becoming.
Gaudi’s design is unlike any other cathedral. The exterior feels almost organic, as it has grown rather than being built and the interior is transformed from light into color, filling the space with a sense of movement and life. Columns rise like trees, and the stained-glass shifts throughout the day, changing the feeling of the space with the sun.
Construction began in 1882, and more than a century later, it continues, carried forward by generations who have taken on the responsibility of completing a vision they did not begin.
To return here over the years is to see that passage of time made visible.
The Sagrada Familia is a commitment, a reflection of how something extraordinary can take shape slowly, with each generation adding to what will one day stand complete.

Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba
Years ago, Marty and I drove around Spain seeing some amazing sites. Here in Córdoba, we visited the remarkable Mosque–Cathedral of Córdoba, known in Spain as the Mezquita-Catedral.

Le Monumental Bullring
As we made our way to the airport, our driver pointed out this impressive circular building and explained that it was once Barcelona’s famous bullfighting arena. Although I had not planned to visit it, learning its story offered another glimpse into the changing culture and traditions of Spain. Known as La Monumental, the arena opened […]
