SpainBy Mateo Pascual

My Visit My visit in Spain was in 2008. I went to Barcelona and Madrid. I visited the Sagrada Familia, which is a church that has been under construction since 1882. I have also been to Parque Del Retiro. The park is so big that is was hard to find our way around. The park belonged to the Spanish Monarchy until the late 19th century. It is now a large 350 acre public park.
