The Cathedral of Barcelona

Barcelona, Spain

We visited the Barcelona Cathedral in 2024.  We climbed to the roof and walked along the catwalk.  The views from

the catwalk were beautiful.  Construction on the cathedral began in 1298.   The cost to enter the cathedral, including

roof access, is 14 euro.  You can purchase tours for an additional cost.  Visiting hours are from 9:30 am until 6:30 pm

on weekdays or 5:15 on Saturdays, with more limited hours on Sunday.  You can read more about the cathedral on

their official website here:

The fountain at the Barcelona Cathedral has been used for the Dancing Egg during the feast of Corpus Cristi - Read more about that here:

We walked from the Cathedral to the famous Sagrada Familia.  We stopped for a couple snacks along the way.

It is our tradition to try out the gelato in every European city that we visit. Sometimes we try multiple gelatarias

to see which one is the best! This one was very good:

It also had a bakery in it

We also tried this pastry at a bakery across the street from the Barcelona Cathedral
