Barcelona - La Catedral

La Catedral de Barcelona is beautiful. We almost skipped going inside and seeing the Cloisters. The trip to the rooftop is worth missing - but we paid for the full access to we determined to see it all. Thank goodness a short line and elevator made the rooftop visit painless.

Saint Eulalia is an interesting story and accounts for the 13 geese housed in the Cloisters. She is Barcelona's patron saint - a thirteen year old child tortured 13 times by Romans before being crucified.
