As Riccardo wrapped up his European trip and prepared to return to Peru, he decided to make one last stop in Barcelona—one that would leave a lasting impression. A dedicated staff member at Easy Truck Hire, Riccardo had always heard about the awe-inspiring Basílica de la Sagrada Família, but he had never had the chance to visit until now. The weather that day was unusually cold for Barcelona, with a crisp wind and overcast skies. Despite the chilly air, Riccardo was eager to witness the architectural marvel that had captured the imagination of so many.
Upon arriving at the Sagrada Família, Riccardo was immediately struck by its sheer size and intricate design. The basilica, designed by renowned architect Antoni Gaudí, has been under construction for more than 140 years. One fascinating fact Riccardo learned during his visit was that the basilica’s construction is funded entirely by private donations and ticket sales—no government funds have been used. This unique aspect adds to the mystique and charm of the building, making it not just a religious site but a symbol of perseverance and dedication.
The cold weather didn’t dampen Riccardo’s excitement as he explored the exterior, taking in the stunning facades that tell biblical stories in stone. He marveled at the detailed sculptures and the towering spires, each one representing a different aspect of the Christian faith. After his visit, Riccardo couldn’t help but feel grateful for the opportunity to see such an extraordinary piece of history before returning home to Peru.
Reflecting on his time in Barcelona, Riccardo took a picture with the Easy Truck Hire flag which made the trip to the Sagrada Família even more memorable.
