From the 15th to the 20th of November 2001 I went to visit Barcelona with one of my brothers. Here are a few pictures of my recent visit to Barcelona, Including getting my hands on the European Cup! There were plenty more pictures taken on my holiday, but I didn’t have the time to scan in too many (I can barely remember the time before digital cameras now).
-
- The Sagrada Familla was one of the first places I visited in Barcelona. The cathedral is still under construction, it began in 1882!
-
- This is an old courtyard I came across while wandering around Barcelona, there’s nothing much here but It looked cool so I took a picture.
-
- First Day, first stop FC Barcelona. The second biggest football stadium in the world, seating around 100,000.
-
- The Parc Guell is full of interesting architecture, and great views of the city.
-
- An Arch on the roof of the Casa Mila La Pedera, in the background another of the architect, Antonio Gaudi’s, work can be seen, the spires of the Sagrada Familla.
-
- The European Cup, the highest prize in European football and I had it in my hand! …well only a duplicate stored at FC Barcelona, but hey it’s still pretty cool.

- In the Football museum, proudly displayed is Scottie Pippen’s signed “Barcelona” Basketball shirt.
