The grandeur and magic of the Sagrada Familia are enough to make you forget all your regrets. This forest-like structure, modeled after nature by Gaudí, is breathtaking both inside and out, absolutely worth the ticket price! The only pity was that we went on a cloudy day. The travel guides said that on a sunny afternoon around 4 pm, the light inside the church would be amazing, but unfortunately we didn't experience that. There were so many people! The queue at the entrance was incredibly long, and it was packed inside. Be sure to keep a close eye on your wallet in places like this to prevent theft! Finally, a tip: the souvenir shop selling those viral fridge magnets is inside the church! We bought several, which was the biggest consolation for not seeing the sunshine. In short, it's a divine place, just make sure to check the weather forecast before you go.

Tickets were issued via Ctrip in about ten minutes, and the price was the same as on the official website, which was quite convenient. Last year, on my first trip to Barcelona, ​​I prioritized visiting the places I most wanted to see within the limited time, so I skipped Park Güell. This year, my cruise ship stopped in Barcelona for a day, so I decided to visit it. Tickets were still available at the entrance, and the ticket check didn't consider specific times or cruise schedules. For example, when we arrived at noon, the system showed only 3 PM tickets were available, but we were actually allowed in immediately. Since it was the weekend, there were a lot of tourists, both local and out-of-town, making it very noisy. The ground was also mostly bare earth, and the wind whipped up dust, making for a poor experience. I think skipping it last time was the right decision. If you really want to come, just enter through the main entrance and visit the highlights; you can finish in about half an hour.

For tickets booked through Ctrip, you should choose the gold card option; it grants immediate entry and allows access to more attractions. I bought Blue tickets on Ctrip, but upon arrival, I was charged extra to upgrade to a gold card, which included a Chinese-language guided tour. The final video and photo opportunities were fantastic.

Casa Milà, located at the corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Passeig de Provenca in Barcelona, ​​Spain, was designed and built by Spanish architect Antoni Gaudí between 1906 and 1912. As Gaudí's last private residential project, Casa Milà encapsulates the architectural language of his mature period and is a pinnacle of the Art Nouveau style's curvilinear aesthetic. Now a UNESCO World Heritage Site and open to the public as a museum, it has become a pilgrimage site for architecture enthusiasts and tourists worldwide. Gaudí is a paragon of the organic integration of liberalism and modernism. He believed that "straight lines belong to man, curves belong to God," and the design of Casa Milà is entirely inspired by nature, imitating the forms of rocks, waves, and plants. The building's exterior, known as "La Pedrera" (meaning "quarry"), features an undulating, wave-like facade resembling a natural mountain, devoid of straight lines or right angles, presenting a sense of natural flow. Inside, the curves of the columns and staircases resemble tree trunks and caves, while the ceiling textures mimic leaf veins and ocean waves, conveying a tribute to the vitality of nature from the outside in. The roof of Casa Milà is the most iconic part of Gaudí's entire architectural work: 30 oddly shaped chimneys and vents exist like sculptures, some resembling warriors, others like monsters (I personally feel they look like some masks from Sanxingdui), perfectly combining functionality (smoke extraction, ventilation) with artistry. The undulating roof enhances the sculptural feel of the building, and standing on it offers a panoramic view of Barcelona.

The entrance is small, in the city center. Be sure to get the audio guide first. Each painting has a story. I spent three hours looking at it carefully! You can walk to Casa Milà and see the scenery of Barcelona along the way! It's a great time!

The place is very easy to find, just near Plaza Catalunya. There are a lot of people queuing up, so enter 15 to 20 minutes in advance and there will be staff to guide you. I bought a B ticket, which gives me a very close distance, and also comes with a free drink or alcohol, you can choose. The seats are all equipped with reclining chairs, which are foldable like in China. The actors worked very hard and performed well. It was my first time watching flamenco, and I was amazed by its artistry, especially the climax, which was a fast-paced footstep dance, not tap dance, but a rhythmic expression, accompanied by dance 💃, guitar 🎸 and dancers singing 🎵. It has a very exotic flavor. I didn't think much of it before, but after watching it, it is really worth seeing 👍

Barcelona is more than just a club! We came from all over the world to gather at the stadium to cheer for Barcelona! After visiting the Barcelona club, our blood is boiling and our eyes are filled with tears!

Be careful the people that ask you to take photos with them. They will ask you to pay for the photo. The visiting time is short.
