What to expect
Your guide will meet the group and lead you through the basilica's interior, discussing the intricate stonework, proportions, and symbolic elements Gaudí embedded into the structure. You'll examine both the Nativity and Passion façades from ground level, learning how each tells a different story. The visit is unhurried enough to absorb details but structured for group pacing. If you've booked the sailing upgrade, expect to head to the waterfront afterwards for a separate 2-hour journey hugging the coast—bring sunscreen and a light layer, as sea breezes can cool quickly.
