Exterior angle of Sant Pau for half-day route planning

Half-day plans fail when they confuse quantity with quality.

Time box that actually works

Block	Activity
0:00 to 2:00	Sant Pau core visit
2:00 to 2:30	Coffee + notes
2:30 to 4:30	Gràcia wander with one fixed destination

Sant Pau priorities for limited time

One major exterior axis
One decorated interior
One tunnel or circulation insight
One garden pause

Gràcia transition tip

Leave Sant Pau with one visual theme (color, ironwork, or geometry) and keep noticing it in the neighborhood.

Don't overbook checklist

No more than two ticketed sites total
One seated break minimum
Sunset buffer for unplanned discoveries

Final takeaway

A great half day in Barcelona feels edited, not rushed.
