I first visited Sagrada Familia in the 60's with my family, again in the 70's on a hitchhiking trip with my flatmate Kim, four years ago with Roger and here we are back again and it is still a building site!
What hasn't changed is the never ending stream of tourist contorting themselves to take the next photo.
But the sheer colours of the windows, magnificence of the architecture and superb sculptures make this an unforgettable experience. In 2010, this was a maze of plastic sheeting, extension cord and dust illuminated by the sparks of welders.
Last time we had been awestruck by the height of the towers, this time it was the amazing lighting, all from natural sources. Isn't stained glass wonderful!
Maybe next time we visit, the huge central spire will have been built.
