Sagrada Familia Barcelona 2023

Barcelona, a thriving mediterranean city with so much on offer, from unique architecture, to beautiful beaches and stunning viewpoints!
Join us as we visit the unfinished Sagrada Familia, the stunning Park Guell and get a view over the whole city at the abandoned Carmel Bunkers!
Finally we take you on a quick excursion to Alcoy, where one of the oldest rolling paper mills in the whole world sits abandoned.
•
Sagrada Familia, one of the longest ongoing architectural projects ever undertaken, which began in 1882 and isn’t to be completed until 2026.
It’s the largest Catholic church in the world and the tallest religious building in the whole of Europe.
Imagined by Josep Bocabella, designed by Francisco Villar and Antoni Gaudi. It’s vast interior is inspired by nature, its columns the tree trunks, sunset through the stained glass… an architectural marvel.
•
Alcoy, the birthplace of rolling papers. When people started using rolling tobacco, some began using newspaper to roll cigarettes, they soon wanted a healthier option, and in 1660 the first rolling papers began being produced from 100% organic hemp by the Lacroix family and in 1867 they founded the ‘Rizla’ brand.
This is one of the first rolling paper mills in the whole world and although its now out of action, production continues to this day primarily in Spain & France, providing the people with natural, clean, smoking essentials!

You took your time so we could enjoy every lovely detail, so much appreciated! What was that second place you visited exactly? And had no idea there were roller paper mills! It would be neat to see a graphic or something of they were laid out and functioned.Thank you Same & Jess!

THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY, FOR US TO SEE SUCH GORGEOUS ARCHITECTURE...LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE! ❤️🙏🏻❤️

[@michaelmurdoch5956]

Hello. 👋 That rolling paper mill reminded me very much of a arsenic mine I saw once. Minus the kangaroos and sheep because it was in Australia. They're very similar and I love the way nature is bringing debris left behind into it's fold. Almost like mother natures own graffiti artwork. The video is here on youtube, his name is Michael Kuebler. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4auZKakgZxgmNk Thank you for taking me along. 🙂

[@Ysreal]

Hi Sam n Jess ❤

[@PaulEcosse]

When you were down Costa Blanca way, did you get a chance to visit the Cuevas del Canelobre? Love that place I've been twice, its a fair drive up into the mountains tho.
