Top Architecture in Catalonia

Try to avoid visiting on weekends if you can. I was packed in like sardines and couldn’t get good pictures. Weekdays are way less crowded!

Don't forget to check the schedule for the mass. I stumbled upon a service and it added a special vibe to my visit, even though I didn't plan for it.

I noticed that some guided tours were kinda pricey. If you're okay with exploring on your own, just a good travel app for info can save you some bucks!

my advice is to wear comfy shoes! the area has some beautiful walking paths and you’ll want to explore a bit without your feet hurting.

I suggest visiting early in the morning, like around 9 AM. You'll find fewer crowds, which means better photos without random people in the background.

I thought the architecture was stunning, but some areas around the arch can be tricky to spot, so keep your eyes peeled for the small paths that lead to it!

My advice is to check out the little artisan shops near the church. They have unique, locally made souvenirs that are much cooler than the typical tourist trinkets and at decent prices!

You might want to grab a coffee at one of the nearby cafés before your visit. Just sitting in the plaza, enjoying the view of the church is a real treat and you can savor the atmosphere.

I think if you're into history, spend some time reading up on its backstory. Knowing about the church's construction and role in the community really enhances the experience. I wish I had prepped more!

My suggestion is to be mindful of Mass timings if you want to avoid disruptions. They often have services that can limit visitor access, so it’s worth checking the schedule beforehand
