Avenue Gr\u00e0cia <\/strong><\/p>\n

Barcelona in 2 days<\/strong> continues in the afternoon arriving at Gr\u00e0cia Avenue<\/strong> in the heart of the Eixample<\/strong>, it is like a Champs Elysees made in Barcelona.

The Casa Batll\u00f3 <\/strong>is a spectacular building built between 1904 and 1906, next to it in the so-called “block of discord” are located the Casa Amatller<\/strong>, which houses a very important documentary archive, the work of Puig i Cadafalch<\/strong>, the Casa Lle\u00f3<\/strong>, and several modernist houses of other authors. And of course, you cannot miss the Pedrera<\/strong>, which, the Casa Mil\u00e0<\/strong> (1906 – 1912).

The Sagrada Familia<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finish this first day visiting the emblematic monument of Barcelona: the incredible Sagrada Familia<\/strong>. The Basilica of the Sagrada Familia<\/strong> is the most famous unfinished work and the most ambitious project of the brilliant Catalan architect Antoni Gaudi<\/strong> and has become over the years the emblem of Barcelona, just as the Eiffel Tower represents Paris, Big Ben represents London and the Statue of Liberty represents New York. Construction began in 1882 and is scheduled to be completed in 2026. A true must-see in Barcelona, the famous Sagrada Familia<\/strong> exceeds all expectations. Exceptionally rich, full of symbols, unparalleled technique and craftsmanship, not to mention the beauty once inside. A visit to its interior is just as unique, with the sun shining, the light through its stained-glass windows is a true spectacle.<\/p>\n

In addition to visiting the basilica, it is possible to climb one of the two towers:<\/p>\n
