life.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2311\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2311\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/spain_sagrada-familia.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2311\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/spain_sagrada-familia.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, Barcelona, Spain\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2311\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sagrada Fam\u00edlia, Barcelona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Next, we enjoy a panoramic view of two more of the city&#8217;s over 30 monuments designed by Gaudi, including The Pedrera, a former apartment complex converted to a Gaudi museum, and Casa Batll\u00f3.\u00a0 Not surprisingly, Gaudi&#8217;s designs were met with much criticism in their day.\u00a0 Today, however, with very different mindsets prevailing, Gaudi is recognized as a genius, a man ahead of his time.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2308\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2308\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/gaudi-park-in-barcelona.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2308\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2013\/09\/gaudi-park-in-barcelona.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"Park G\u00fcell, Barcelona\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2308\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Park G\u00fcell, Barcelona<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Next stop is La Boqueria, one of more than forty markets in the city.\u00a0 It is an impressive array of fresh produce, fish, spices and sweet treats.\u00a0 Tourists and locals alike flock here;
