- In Valencia I stayed with three Italians and a Spaniard. The Spanish girl and I decided to go exploring and ended up eating a lunch while enjoying the picturesque view of the beach
Europeans eat so much pork! I was exploring one of the largest open markets while touring in Valencia, and I couldn't help but take a snapshot of this pig's head. I suppose they don't let any part go to waste ...
La Sangrada Familia. I toured Barcelona with a model from Lima, Peru and a veterinarian from Rome, Italy - this was one of our favorite attractions. La Sangrada Familia is a Catholic Cathedral of which construction began around one thousand years ago. Due to insufficient funding, however, it remains a masterpiece in progress. Today, new parts are erected as offerings from the Catholics are amassed. Because there is no one architectural plan (instead, a conglomerate of architects such as Gaudi have contributed to its design) it was fascinating to see how the century-old steeples were complimented by the modern flare of more recent additions.
