I'm an Atheist-but Going to Mass at the Sagrada Familia Changed My Life Forever
Briefly

The trip to Barcelona in March 2025 was characterized by spontaneity and lack of planning. Major attractions, including Parc Güell and the Picasso Museum, had sold out tickets. On arrival, the group experienced exhaustion from their travel but enjoyed various activities, including hiking Montjuïc hill and visiting the Joan Miró Foundation. A visit to the Sagrada Família was also made, notable for its long construction history beginning in 1882 under Antoni Gaudí. The visit involved some struggles but culminated in memorable experiences despite the lack of a structured plan.
Construction on Sagrada Família began in 1882, with Antoni Gaudí taking over design in 1883. It remains under construction, expected to be completed in 2026.
The trip to Barcelona involved spontaneity, with no planned itinerary. Key attractions were sold out, leading to an experience focused on exploration rather than strict planning.
