Day 16: Sagrada Familia & Hospital St. Pau

This morning we visited Gaudi's Sagrada Familia cathedral that is still being constructed.  Gaudi worked on this for the latter part of his career.  It seemed like an obsession.  He needed up sleeping at the construction site.  It is quite a place.







I guess everyone lived on or near the site because Gaudi built this very cute school of the children of the workers.


We then wandered up Passig Gaudi and ate at a little cafe overlooking the Sagrada Familia.


We kept walking up the street and came to the Hospital St. Paul, built by Domenech i Mantaner--the same Modernista architect who built the Palau de Musica.  This is our first glance of the hospital.


It is no longer in use.  I'm not sure how many buildings it has, but it is really impressive.








We ended the day with a drink by the hospital.  What an adventure.
