This is looking out over barcelona from the top of the castle, Look how huge the Temple de la Sagrada Familia is!

The Sagrada Familia was an Amazing Temple, it started in 1882 and is still under construction, it won't be finished until 2020....Its breathtaking!

Looking over Barcelona at the top of Sagrada Familia.

We waited in line for 1 1/2 hours to get on the elevator to go to the top, and this was the staircase we got to go down!!! It was unreal!! Very narrow and very high!!!

The Market at Las Ramblas was so amazing!! Everything is so fresh and the displays were beautiful!

TOURING MADRID

Things turned pretty cold while we were there! but we managed to all bundle up! What great times we had though!

Madrid had entertainers all over on the streets, these guys sounded like a professional symphony! they were so amazing! fun to watch and listen to!

The Architecture in this town was absolutly amazing! Unbelievable Buildings!

It was very interesting in a ton of the restaurants had these slabs of ham legs hanging from there ceilings! its a staple in Spain!

Here we are with Rosemary and Joel, they flew in to Madrid and we toured around with them for a couple of days!

This is in the Cathedral next to the Palicio Real, it was so beautiful with all of the stained glass and beautiful Architecture! Funny thing about this picture with Melony...we were sitting in the pew looking at everything.....and we flipped the kneeling bench up....well it was a huge BANG! when we did it ..needless to say it wa echoing throughout the halls of the cathedral...might be why we look a little sheepish in this picture!

This is the the Palicio Real, its mainly used for Important events, not as a residence the interior was very impressive!

This is the tour bus we took to see the sites of Madrid!
