Saturday, 10th June 2017 (VISIT)
11:00h. Visit to the Sagrada Familia of Antoni Gaudí in Barcelona**
 
* Meals and coffees not included (the University has a cafeteria and vending machines).
**Due to the problem of booking visits inside the temple of the Sagrada Familia, the guided tour (group) will be made only by the outside, for those who previously register specifically for this visit. The visit (individual) for the interior space must be reserved by anyone who wishes, personally, directly, on the website of the Sagrada Familia, for the time that this website will allow you (http://www.sagradafamilia.org)
