Day 17 - Visiting the Gaudi Catherdral in Barcelona inspired by nature

Today was my second full day in Barcelona with my Spanish group at Chew Valley School.  We spent the day site seeing in the city and visited this amazing cathedral.  Gaudi was inspired by nature when designing this cathedral and the photos below are of a doorway of carved leaves with insects in them.  There is also a large tortoise within the the cathedral.
