第三天，我們來個“高迪之日”，一口氣參觀了高迪的三處傑作：聖家堂、米拉之家和奎爾公園。走完三個點，我們提早回酒店養精蓄銳，準備應付第四天同樣緊湊的活動。

建築家高迪有七個作品被列入世界文化遺產，包括這童話般的奎爾公園。奎爾公園是高迪的摯友奎爾伯爵失敗的開發計劃，這依山而建的公園完成後，周邊待售的六十片地皮卻始終沒有買家。當時的樣板屋則被高迪買下居住，也就是現為博物館的高迪之家。（參考官網）
The Park Güell is one of the seven works of Antoni Gaudí that listed as UNESCO World Heritage. It’s part of an unsuccessful commercial housing site. Although the Park Güell had a beautiful views and designs, but the 60 lots for luxury houses couldn’t been sold. Gaudí had bought one of the two sample houses and moved in with his family.

聖家堂，高迪的代表作、巴塞羅納的地標，路過的旅人都會到此朝聖。這教堂預計在2026年竣工，是名副其實的世紀工程，也是世界上唯一還未竣工就被列入世界文化遺產的建築。

興建於1901年至1930年間，由加泰隆尼亞現代主義建築師路易·多梅內克·蒙塔內爾（Lluís Domènech i Montaner）設計的聖十字聖保羅醫院是我們在巴塞羅納參觀的第一個旅遊景點。聖保羅醫院是巴塞羅納聖十字醫院之一，這在二十世紀建立的新院區，以出資的銀行家Pau Gil命名。這是世界文化遺產之一，直至2009年6月才結束它醫院的角色。經過四年的整修，如今是博物館及文化中心，部分建築亦出租給國際非營利組織。
Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau (English: Hospital of the Holy Cross and Saint Paul) was the first tourist place that we have visited in Barcelona. This is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, built between 1901 and 1930, and designed by Catalan modernist architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner. It’s one of the Hospital of the Holy Cross in Barcelona and Saint Paul was added in honour of the banker, Pau Gil, who paid the new buildings in the 20th century. Until June 2009, it was a fully funcitioning hospital. After restoration for 4 years, it’s open again to public as a museum and cultural center.

束河古鎮雖小，但可媲美麗江古城。這是這天的最後一站，導遊趕下班，我們只草草地參觀了這古鎮。說實在，這天的行程過於緊湊，若能縮成藍月谷、白沙壁畫和束河，在束河古鎮賞了夜景再回去會更完美說。
