Barcelona Cathedral

We eventually find our way through the gothic quarter of Barcelona, which runs down one side of that busy pedestrianised road, La Rambla, to the cathedral. Like the other church it's paid entry but we actually arrive during the free period around 5-7pm so accept the queue, which isn't excessive, and make a our way inside. Whereas the del Pi church had a tiny number of tourists this place is swarming inside. The cathedral is beautiful although the distance between the columns is indeed less than the smaller (although still huge) del Pi church. But this is testimony to the achievement of those masons to reach such huge scales so quickly in the 14th century. Having seen so many religious buildings it's sadly difficult to pick out unique features when you have only a little time to tour. A guided tour would help but often we don't have time or don't want the restriction.
