Tuesday 6th October - Sagrada Familia We had purchased our tickets for the Sagrada Familia which id Gaudi's most famous work. We had our breakfast and talked with Jane and Paul and then set out down our street to have a coffee before heading to the Metro. The chap in the cafe remembered exactly what we had had yesterday and volunteered to make it again for us but then he asked Jan if she wanted a flat white.
