  1. i wish there where that kind of art in cal
  2. es muy dificil ver algo que se asemeje a la sagrada familia , simplemente magnifica.
  3. What is the main reason they can't finish?  I went today and there were hundreds of people and they were even turning people away.  It doesn't seem like a money issue.  It was very beautiful but much more of a theme park attitude among the guests than a church setting.  I am not religious but I like the reverence that is typically practiced by people in religious buildings.  Here there was next to no reverence. Hopefully that changes when it is completed which I saw a few things that seemed to think it might be done by 2026?  Who knows?
  4. Lovely video of Barcelona architecture! Thank you for having Subtitles/captioning, which allows people who are deaf or hard of hearing like my daughter to watch! #withcaptions

  7. This is perfect
  8. My Lovely Bride and I miss Barcelona. A beautiful city. Haven't been there since the 1992 Olympics. We hope to get back one day!
  9. Actually there are different types of poverty recorded in the bible. Is impotant to distinguish between those who bring poverty upon themselves from those who are victims of injustice. It is no point to give a beggar my money if he is going to spend it on booze. Jesus says BE WISE AS SERPENTS. Sagrada Família is a reminder to atheist europeans of their christian heritage.
  10. Just think, all that money and time going Into building a church, even after what It says about that In they're own book, lets see, one of the main missions of a church Is to help the pore and suffering, hum mm, there must not be any more poor and suffering there any more If they are spending donated money on a idol. What was that oath of a priest ? did they change the rules? wish we could do that here, oh wait we do, hey!! how come there Is still poor and suffering ? JUST SAYN..................
  11. I was Just in Barcalona and saw Gaudi's Work thanks to you I had a pre-know what to what we toured! :)
  12. Barcelona Decideix is a citizen’s initiative to organise a referendum in the city of Barcelona on Catalonia’s independence from Spain, which will be held on April 10th, 2011. It is a democratic gesture of participation in a poll called, organized and financed by Catalan citizens. This referendum will close a series of referendums that started in September 2009 in Arenys de Munt. The Catalan people want Catalonia's independence Come on to be free
