My tour guide picked me up on time at 10 a.m., and I was pleased to learn that I had a driver also, so that the guide did not have to divide her attention between talking and driving. We drove first to Parc Guell, where we entered at an upper level and had an easy walk down through the park’s many extraordinary Gaudi-designed constructions. By the time we reached the lower level, numerous tour groups had arrived and the park was getting congested. After leaving the park, we rendezvoused with the driver and went to La Sagrada Familia. My guide expertly conducted me through the entrance so that we avoided the line-up, and we explored the cathedral at leisure. My guide was informative and charming, and it was a pleasure talking with her. I wish I had written down her name, because I can now only remember that it had a lot of vowel sounds. I enjoyed the tour very much.
