Bonkers Church Visit

If you’re ever in the mood for checking out some bonkers architecture pop along to the Gaudi church/crypt in Santa Coloma de Cervello. It’s marked as a hidden Gaudi gem and it’s certainly different. The stained glass windows throw vibrant colours onto the cacophony of different styles of religiosity within - and there’s even a stone henge type structure on the roof. Quite bizarre but interesting nonetheless. There’s a Black Madonna on one altar and a rather over the top collection of deities on another. Here are a few photos to show you what it’s like.

Better Legs This Time

After wondering why thousands of Spanish people were out and about and on the road today we decided to google it and discovered the reason. Happy Constitution Day to Spain; a public holiday where everything shuts just as I’m about to check it out, e.g., the Gaudi Crypt in Santa Coloma de Cervello which shut at 1500 hrs, one minute before I arrived at 1501hrs. Oh well, it opens at 10 in the morning so I’ll get my chance then.

Yummier than trotters but still legs

Luckily we found a restaurant that had stayed open and the fluffy one was able to consume some more palatable legs than he did yesterday - squid not pig. A couple of beers, some octopus, peppers and more squid later and we’re tucked up in Dickie waiting for dinner time.

Interesting architecture around here

Gaudi church and crypt for tomorrow 

The Aire is full so we’ve tucked ourselves away in a nearby car park for the night. Hugo has managed to find a friend to wee on and sniff the buttocks of. Meet Lex, a lovely young local bitch out on her walk.

Hmm, may I sniff your butt?

I’ll just wee on your nose if that’s ok 

Tomorrow Castelldelfels.
