Architectural moments in Barcelona that particularly caught my eye.

The crowds were overflowing at Sagrada Familia when the castells were happening. Castells are the Catalan tradition of building human towers as high as one can possibly go, and they're incredible to see the human spirit and ingenuity in person.

One of Barcelona's richest and most interesting urban experiences is its historic Gothic Quarter, the original medieval heart of the city. Usually overrun with tourists, I was lucky to find some times where things were not as frenetic.

Sitges is a wonderfully charming beach town southwest of Barcelona. It was a beautiful Easter Sunday to get out of the city and explore one of the nearby towns, and spend some time in the sand and surf.

There's so much to see and explore on Montjuic. In this case, I opted for a lovely walk down the mountain from the aerial tram terminal back into the city below.

There is an old aerial tram running from Barceloneta to Montjuic with fantastic views of the city and sea (as long as you're not afraid of heights!).

Park Güell is one of Gaudi's most important and impressive contributions to Barcelona, and there's no better time to visit than a warm spring evening as the light gets low on the city below.

A visit to the recreation of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's famous Barcelona Pavilion is a must for anyone when visiting the Catalan capital.

After over two months of living in Barcelona, I finally had the opportunity to tour Sagrada Familia, and as luck would have it, there was a thunderstorm rolling in that evening. The dark heavy clouds and charge in the air only magnified the otherworldly atmosphere of Gaudi's masterpiece.

Architectural moments in Barcelona that particularly caught my eye.

I was entranced by the juxtaposition of the alleyway with Sagrada Familia looming at the end of it, and knew I had to capture such an interesting combination.

The Basílica dels Sants Màrtirs Just i Pastor is a neo-Gothic Catholic church completed in 1342. The interior is incredible, and for a few euros, you can climb the belltower all the way to the top (if you're not too claustrophobic). It's a beautiful church in the Gothic Quarter, and best of all, it's hidden away so it sees very little of the occasionally overwhelming tourist crowds that many other places in the Gothic experience.
