Having just returned from a trip to Barcelona, I have been inspired to jot down a few thoughts about two of its most celebrated citizens; Picasso and Gaudi, both of whom have helped to make Barcelona the city it is today. During my stay in Barcelona hotels I was lucky to be shown around the incomplete Temple of the Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) by an amazingly enthusiastic devotee of Gaudi. Laura explained how the modernist architect used the Temple as his workshop, trying out new ideas and evolving the design of the building from its earliest neo-gothic style to the outrageously modernist and naturalistic look the building has today.
