James Portelli is working his way toward Ferrol, Galicia, where he’ll report from the Camino Inglés. He just sent me a guest post about Gaudi’s famous masterpiece-in-progress in Barcelona. I saw La Sagrada Familia in 1992 and thought it would never be completed. However, during my visits in 2007 and 2010, I was impressed with the progress! It is truly a must-see when in Barcelona.
La Sagrada Familia

Introduction
With our Camino rendezvous at Santiago Airport scheduled for the 12th May, my wife and I decided to land in Barcelona, Spain, 5 days before to savor Catalunya. Our ‘to-do list’ included Sagrada Familia and Montserrat and otherwise do what tourists do before we donned the gear of peregrines Ferrol-bound to commence the Camino Inglés.
