I just toured it last week and I didn't see a mention of the proposed underground high-speed rail the entire time. If I am wrong and there was literature about it, then I must've missed it while marveling at the ceiling, stained glass windows, etc. This is something that LGS is not overtly communicating it to their guests. If they did, there would be a bigger uproar from there 2+ million yearly visitors! I'm sure many of them would be concerned. What…La Sagrada Familia?.

Do you have a link to a photo of that new section? Joel, there’s nothing wrong with visiting the Sagrada Familia–the WMF cites the proposed underground train tunnel as the problem.

Do you have a link to a photo of that new section?

Wow... I'm glad it got recognized, not so much that it needed to be. That's great though, keeping it local. It is a beautiful bridge. The Merritt bridge is on the list?

I guess I'm part of the problem :( . However, if we're going to talk about damaging la sagrada familia, can't we talk about the newer part next to the nativity facade (bearing fruit at their peaks). I love the passion facade, but whatever is next to the nativity facade is really disappointing. I’ve been to Machu Picchu & Sagrada. I guess I’m part of the problem :( .

I'd love to get to Machu Picchu sometime, sounds like I better get there sooner rather than later! Thanks for this article!
