I visited Casa Milà, also known as La Pedrera and was immediately drawn in by its undulating stone façade, which looks more like a sculpture than a building. There are no straight lines here—everything flows like waves, and it feels like Gaudí carved it out of a giant block of limestone using the sea as his muse.
Inside, the experience was just as fascinating. The central courtyards open up to the sky, flooding the interiors with light, while the apartment museum gave me a glimpse of what life was like in early 20th-century Barcelona. But the real highlight was the rooftop—with surreal chimneys that look like warriors guarding the city. The views of Passeig de Gràcia and the distant Sagrada Família were incredible in the golden afternoon light.
Casa Milà isn’t just a building—it’s an experience of imagination made solid, and every floor, stair, and arch tells part of that story.
Travel Tips & How to Get There:
• Best time to visit:
• Afternoon offers great lighting for the rooftop views and façade photos.

I visited Sagrada Família in the afternoon, and honestly—it was breathtaking in a completely different way than I expected. As soon as I stepped inside, the sunlight poured through the west-facing stained-glass windows, filling the entire basilica with vibrant shades of orange, red, and amber. The effect was warm, powerful, and almost spiritual.
Gaudí’s unique interpretation of nature in architecture really came to life. The towering columns looked like trees glowing in autumn, and the light seemed to move as I walked through. While the space was busier than the morning, it somehow still felt peaceful—everyone was quietly in awe.
I took my time admiring both the Nativity and Passion facades, appreciating how much detail and symbolism were carved into every inch. Even just sitting on one of the benches, soaking in the beauty of the structure, felt deeply meditative. It’s truly not just a building—it’s a living work of art.
Sagrada Família in the afternoon was an unforgettable explosion of color and form. The way light transforms the space is pure magic. No matter how many photos you’ve seen, nothing compares to being there in person.
Travel Tips & How to Get There:
• Best time to see the light show:
• Visit around 3–5 PM when the sunlight hits the stained-glass windows at the perfect angle.
• Getting there:
• Take the L2 or L5 metro line to Sagrada Família station — it’s right across the street.
• Or use hop-on-hop-off buses, which also stop nearby.
• Tips:
• Book tickets online in advance to avoid the queue.
• Don’t miss the museum underneath which gives insight into Gaudí’s design.
• Tower access offers amazing views but book early—they sell out fast.
• Dress modestly—it’s an active place of worship.

The grandeur of the basilica left me speechless, with every detail telling a story of creativity, devotion, and timeless craftsmanship.
Walking inside, I was struck by how the light streams through the stained glass windows, filling the space with a kaleidoscope of colors. It's like stepping into another world, where history, spirituality, and art converge in perfect harmony. Antoni Gaudí’s vision truly comes to life here – each spire, facade, and interior design element makes you appreciate the genius behind this unfinished marvel.
What I loved most about the Sagrada Família is how it invites you to reflect.
