People to Avoid: VANDALISM
  • Tip Rating:

  • This is the side we don't often see or sometimes ignore about places we go, and the one that is not advertise.

    My eyes could not believe what I was watching when I came across this wall in La Sagrada Familia. What in earth explains the behaivour of human to allow this to happen?

    Is this the foot print we want to leave behind? One that damages a public monument?

    Avoid Crowds: SOME PEOPLE ARE JUST... TOURIST
  • Tip Rating:


  • In my opinion we got to The Sagrada Familia "reasonably early" well aparently not.
    We did most of our tour with no major problem or crowd. Plenty of time for the audio guide, and to take a step back and contemplate.
    When we decided to go up the bell- towers the story was another. It took literaly for ever. There are lift for those who choose to avoid the narrow steps, but the lift does not take you to the very top. Instead it takes you to a middle level where you join in the que going up. Never the less there is no staff coordinating the line. And of this is not enough, you find every single tourist in front of you wanting to take a picture as soon as they reach the exterior, they compleately forget the line that is behind them and wish to take more than one picture with each single camera in their posesion.
    Unfortunately, the only way out is through this passage to the exterior and in to the other bell.

    Honestly it was a nightmare, by the time I reach the top and exterior I could not bother to have a look at the view.

  • Well I guess this is a contradiction of the theory. My question here is, well, which way do you run?, options are 50/50....

    think twice at least.

     Wow, beginning a trip somewhere with a visit to the salon would be a radical idea for me - I like it!!! Great page! I always notice the ads in different countries, too, they're always a little different.
