Hitting all the symbols

We covered a lot of ground on day 2, taking in probably the big three of works that symbolize the city: La Sagrada Familia, the iguana in Parc Guell, and the Palau de Musica Catalana.  Normally we tour this incredible theater but this year we saw a flamenco concert in it.  We also saw Mont Juic, the Olympic Port, and had dinner at the delicious Cerveceria Catalana.
