The Society’s recent trip to Barcelona
Here are some photographs from the November trip to Barcelona. The photographs are grouped on
visits, plus some extra ones which hopefully capture the atmosphere of Barcelona. If you have any
photographs for visits missed off this page please send them to me, Janet Groome, at
janet2280@googlemail.com and I will add them.
Barcelona and the hotel
Thursday 2 November Tour of Barcelona and visit to Gaudi’s House and
Parc Guell
Followed by a visit to see the outside of Sagreda Familia,
Gaudi’s great unfinished work, due to be completed, a 100
years after his death, in 2027.
Some people went into Sagrada Familiar. Others visited different sites. We went to San Paul, the Art Nouveau
Hospital that has now become a UNESCO World Heritage site, it links with humanitarian and medical
organisations involved in health and education around the world. There are 9 beautifully period buildings on the
site decorated with tiles, sculpture, stain glass etc, including operating theatres, pharmacy, wards and the rather
interesting under ground tunnels linking the 9 buildings, which have ‘ghosts’ moving along the corridors with you -
unsettling (see photos).
