The Passion of Christ, Sagrada Familia, Barcelona

Once you have taken in La Sagrada Familia from afar, cross the street and take a closer look. The front and back of the basilica are the most impression, showing the birth and death of Christ, respectively. A third facade, The Glory Facade, is in progress and will represent the elements of Earth, Wind, Fire and Water.

Tour of Gaud�'s Barcelona

If it's specifically Gaudi that you're interested in (or you don't want to walk so far), this Tour of Gaudi's Barcelona is ideal. You'll take in Placa Espanya, the National Palace, Guell Park and the Sagrada Familia over an eight-hour period. This is a good introductory tour of Barcelona with some of Gaudi's highlights to be seen, but I wouldn't say it that closely linked to Gaudi. The tour above is better.
