Hello @nraizar, good morning. What a marvelous Cathedral! The design of the gargoyles for draining rainwater is a lovely detail with a certain mystique. The interior is imposing with its high columns, vaulted ceilings, and stained-glass windows full of light and color. Without a doubt, a temple built by a community with great love for its Patron Virgin. Thank you for this interesting tour. Muy buenas fotos y videos, un abrazo 🤗.

Good morning @mdrguez. The cathedral is very modest from the outside... but inside it's fantastic, at least in my opinion. The story not mentioned in the post is that the official cathedral in Barcelona was built between the 13th and 15th centuries, almost at the same time as the Cathedral of the Sea. The official cathedral (Barcelona Cathedral) was built with the vast fortunes of the aristocracy.
The result was that the one built in the maritime district surpassed the official cathedral in beauty. The official cathedral is overly ostentatious and lacks good taste (that's my opinion).
A big hug. Thank you.
