Casa Mingo Restaurant (Madrid, Spain)

Casa Mingo serves Asturian food. I suggest ordering the roasted chicken with a bottle of cider.  Featured in Mario Batali's On the Road Again with Gwenyth Paltrow was what drew me in.  But when we arrived here, I was intrigued by the simple, rustic decor and loved the fact that many locals were dining here.

Sagrada Familia (Barcelona, Spain)

Construction for this Sagrada Familia, a Roman Catholic Church, started in 1882 and is still under construction, with an estimated completion date of 2017.    The gothic architecture and towering spires over the church is an amazing sight.

Gaudi's Parc Güell (Barcelona, Spain)

Another of Antoni Gaudi's great architectural work is the Parc Güell in Barcelona. His creative imagination is so intriguing and nothing like any other artist.
