“My client is not in a hurry. God has all the time in the world” — (Antoni Gaudi answering a question why La Sagrada Familia is taking so long to build)
When my friends asked me why I wanted to go to Barcelona, I answered: “Gaudi”! I have seen many architectural masterpieces, but always had a feeling that what Antoni Gaudi created was in a league of his own.
I was lucky with the weather in Barcelona. It was very sunny and hot during my stay there. Perfect weather to explore the city, or so I thought.
I did not particularly care for a typical Catalonia Cuisine which is often described as surf and turf or mar i muntanya. But I tried Catalan sea food and must say it was extremely delicious.

After spending most of the year wearing trench coats in St. Petersburg, I felt like my skin deserved some sun, so I changed into my white romper.
