Tour Guide: Lydia Sekouri Tour Guide cell phone #: (+) Your guide will meet you at your hotel for a great half-day (4-hour) walking tour of the city. Today, you will visit historic landmarks and locations in Barcelona, including Placa espanya, Sagrada Familia, and Agbar Tower. Plaça d'espanya, also known as Plaza de España in Spanish, is one of Barcelona's most important squares, built on the occasion of the 1929 International Exhibition, held at the foot of Montjuïc, in the Sants-Montjuïc district. It is also home to Barcelona's old bull-fighting ring which is now nothing but a shell, albeit quite a beautiful one.the main draw to Plaça Espanya is the Palau Nacional which is the Museum of Catalan art, stands regally up on the side of Montjuïc. La Sagrada Familia is one of Gaudí's most famous works in Barcelona. It's a giant Basilica that has been under construction since 1882, and it's not expected to be completed for some time yet! Interpretation of the designs by present day architects is particularly challenging because the actual construction stones are irregularly shaped. The building is still under construction so be prepared to see a lot of work continuing when you visit. The Torre Agbar is currently the highest building in Barcelona. Only the Sagrada Familia will surmount it once the construction works are over - the building regulations in Barcelona do not allow any other building to be taller than the Sagrada Familia. Depending on the incidence of light, the tower changes its colours - the coloured aluminium sheeting that reflects the light consists of 40 different colours of high gloss. When the tower is illuminated at night, it is extremely impressive. During the illumination, the 4,500 illuminated glass panels constantly change their colours.
