    "I think it’s a bit overrated but I’m not an architect or someone who would appreciate architecture all that much, it really puzzle me the level of security, to go in need to pass a control similar to the TSA at the airport, inside a bit crowded and the shop crazy overpriced products! nonetheless I think a visit to Barcelona without visiting La sagrada familia won’t be really complete."

    "It takes about one night to confirm the ticket. The general experience of booking the ticket is ok. Remember to book in advance to reserve an early time slot so the rooftop will have fewer people. The design of the house is absolutely amazing! Can't believe this is done in the 19s. It takes about 20 years to finish. The rooftop is very igable. The inside of the house is a less attractive but the exhibition of the idea of casa mila worth to stop by."
