“One of the most memorable structures on the planet. The divinely inspired genius of Gaudi is almost too much to comprehend. I am still marveling at all we saw days later. And our guide, Juan-Miguel, was our own Virgil explaining the meanings behind what we saw. The most memorable tour of my life.”
