I was born in Argentina, studied Art History, and as soon as I finished my studies I wanted to travel the world and see new places. 12 years later, I'm still on this side of the Ocean, 9 of which I've been working as a professional tour guide in Ireland, Portugal, and Barcelona!

Sagrada Familia tour SKIP THE LINE
The Sagrada Família is a truly exceptional Basilica , the result of the work of genius architect Antoni Gaudí. Today, more than 135 years after the laying of the cornerstone, construction continues on the Basilica. You will know the reasons why is still unfinished and when it will be finished. You will see what's already built and what's still left. I suggest to do the tour in the afternoon, from 2 pm, when the sun is at the west side.
