La Sagrada Familia - Under Construction
To see La Sagrada Famila without construction and cranes is very hard; you have to be lucky. Since the church is still unfinished Barcelona keeps working on it. In Barcelona you hear echos of a forerver ongoing project since new sections are being designed throughout the years.
