The 8th grade students are studying Barcelona in class. They are adjusting to the Spanish accents that are a little different from what they are used to. One of the cultural highlights in the book was la Sagrada Familia. La Sagrada Familia is a cathedral in Barcelona on which construction began in 1882-and it still isn't finished! Antonio Gaudí was the master architect and worked on this project for more than forty years. Unfortunately, Gaudí died before construction was complete. It is expected that the cathedral will finally be finished in 2026, but it will probably take longer than that!
