Bilbao in northern Spain has the famous Guggenheim gallery. We didnt go inside but the building itself is a work of art.
The roof is made from Titanium plates.
Some of the old houses in Spain had carvings over the door. We wondered if they told us something about the job of the occupant, or the status of the family. What do you think?
In Barcelona we visited Parc Guell. Here useful things like benches and steps are also beautiful. Its amazing what can be achieved with a few broken kitchen tiles!
The cathedral in Barcelona is work in progress, but actually its wonderful to see part of the process that goes into building something so beautiful. By the way, can you spot the parrot in the tree?

There was a 13th century (I think) chapel in the woods Lodee in France. It was tiny and full of cobwebs but with a rather lovely little window near the altar

This famous cathedral in Reims is rather fine.
