We started our morning at Park Güell, another of Gaudí’s masterpieces. Originally planned as a private garden city, it became a whimsical public park filled with colorful mosaics, curving benches, and sweeping views of Barcelona. The kids loved the lizard fountain at the entrance—El Drac, one of the most photographed symbols of the city.

In the afternoon, we toured the Sagrada Família at 13:45. Though construction began in 1882, this basilica is still being completed today, making it the longest-running architectural project in modern history. Gaudí dedicated the final years of his life to the church, infusing every detail with symbolism—from the nativity scenes to the towers representing the apostles. The stained glass windows filled the interior with light like a kaleidoscope of faith.

As night fell, we joined crowds around the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc, where water, light, and music came together in a dazzling display. The fountain was originally built for the 1929 World’s Fair and continues to enchant locals and visitors alike. Watching it sparkle under the stars felt like the city was dancing to say, “bona nit” (good night).
