Overview
What will we see and discover together?
The Man Behind the Myth: Who was Antoni Gaudí really? An absolute genius, an eccentric man who lived like a hermit on the construction site and found divine inspiration in the forms of nature. I’ll tell you his incredible and tragic story.
The Nativity Facade (The Triumph of Life): The only one Gaudí saw nearly completed. It’s an explosion of nature, animals, and joy. I’ll reveal why there are turtles at the base of the columns and where the “magic square” is hidden.
The Passion Facade (Raw Pain): In stark contrast to the first, this facade is harsh, angular, and almost dramatic. Together, we’ll explore the work of sculptor Subirachs and the controversies that surrounded its construction.
The Facade of Glory (The Future): I’ll explain what the Sagrada Familia will look like once it’s finished (yes, that day is getting closer!) and the impact it will have on life in the neighborhood.
Why choose this tour with me? No dry, university-style lectures: History is alive—it’s made up of entertaining anecdotes, engineering challenges that seemed impossible, and secrets that standard tourist brochures don’t tell you.
