In buying online advance tickets I'm being asked to select which tower I want to visit, the Nativity facade or the Passion facade. Any recommendations?

We chose the Nativity facade and were glad we did. The views were great! Seemed like the view was better at the time based on current construction equipment. That was in 2014, so things may have changed.

The Passion facade is at the base of the left towers and the Nativity facade is at the base of the right towers.
Note that the facades themselves are best viewed from the ground. From the top of the towers you appreciate the brightly coloured mosaic tile work as well as views of the overall construction process and broader vistas of Barcelona. You previously were able to cross over at the top to the other set of towers. I'm not sure whether this still remains posssible.

We chose the Nativity facade in November and had spectacular views looking towards the sparkling blue Mediterranean. I believe the Passion facade looks out over the city of Barcelona. If I were to go again, I would select the Passion facade simply because I've already seen the view from the Nativity.
