Parting shot (or: Away we go!)

Well, I think I'll end this gallery here. It's amazing -- I took so many pictures while there but in the end posted relatively few of them. Jose Antonio can tell you how many I took ;-).

I'm so grateful Jose had the idea of going out to see this church because we never would have done it otherwise. And I'm also pleased that I had the opportunity to photograph a Gaudí work that many people have never heard of, let alone seen. Thanks so much for the kind support, and if you get to Barcelona, definitely make the effort to visit Colònia Güell if you like Antoni Gaudí and/or fine architecture. Or even if you just want a nice day out in the country!
