I’m trying to sort through the many possibilities for the upcoming web page project. I would like to do something on the history of the city of Barcelona, and two possibilities come up–La Boqueria market and La Sagrada Familia. These are both historically significant sites in the city, Boqueria being one of the largest markets in Europe (some say the 3rd largest) with a history stretching back to the 11th century, the Sagrada Familia being Gaudi’s unfinished temple (not technically a cathedral). I’ve visited both places before and will be returning the 1st week of Oct. (field study?Sure..) Both places have official sites, but they both could definitely be re-organized and updated.(www.sagradafamilia.cat for Sagrada Familia, www.boqueria.info for La Boqueria). I’m leaning more towards the Boqueria site as it could definitely use some revamping and elaboration, and the Sagrada site is pretty developed and sophisticated despite still being under construction. The Boqueria site has some pretty cool features, such as maps of the market stalls that as you scroll over their location on the map a photo comes up in the right corner of the screen. The history section could definitely be elaborated a bit, and more photos or even a historical photo gallery would definitely be nice. I’m debating other possibilities as well besides these sites, but still trying to make more concrete decisions.
