La Sagrada Familia, Barcelona
La Sagrada Familia is one of Gaudi's most famous works in Barcelona. It's a giant Basilica that has been under construction since 1882 (that's not a typing error) and it's not expected to be completed for some time yet. It is a truly magnificent building and not matter how many architectural sites you have visited, nothing can compare to this.

Mirrored Barcelona
I love reflections and this one can be found at the Plaza de España (Plaça d'Espanya in Catalan) which is one of Barcelona’s most important squares. It was built for the 1929 International Exhibition. The monumental fountain at the center of the square was designed by Josep Maria Jujol, a collaborator of Antoni Gaudí. It has three large columns and several sculptural groups done by the artist Miquel Blay.

Bones Exhibition, Madrid
Danh Vo (Vietnam, 1975) is an admired artist. His work is so original that it puzzles observers. He is loved by art critics and each of his exhibitions produces fascination. At the Palacio de Cristal, located at the Parque del Retiro, Madrid, he presented his installation “Banish the faceless/Reward your Grace”. This exhibition included a set of apparently unrelated objects for example a large number of mammoth fossils and an ivory Christ.

Castillo de San Gabriel, Lanzarote
The Castillo de San Gabriel (Castle of Saint Gabriel) is located on a tiny island called Islote de los Ingleses (Islet of the English), which can be reached by two causeways, one for traffic and one for pedestrians. On foot, you pass over the Puente de las Bolas (Ball Bridge), a small drawbridge with two cannonballs on top of its pillars.

Picturesque Garachico, Tenerife
Garachico is a picturesque village on the northern coast of Tenerife. It nestles below a 500 m (1500 ft) cliff. The coastline is essentially volcanic debris and this gives the town its charm. There exist some natural rock pools, however, outside, the Atlantic swell makes swimming inadvisable for all but the very brave.
