We had a great experience visiting several fascinating historical monuments and scores of buildings in Spain, including Park Guell, Sagrada Familia, Montjuic Hill, Casa Mila, and the Gothic Quarter. We Wandered along the most famous street in Spain, Las Ramblas. The historic avenue is busy around the clock, especially in the evenings and weekends. Barcelona continues to sizzle with creativity!
