In some of my other posts from Barcelona, I have commented on how warm it was when we were there. This discouraged me from some of the potential excursions we could have made. One area I would have gone to if it were cooler was the Montjuic area. This is a hill overlooking the coast with a castle on top and a cable car connecting it to the shore. It was also the location for the Olympics when they were held in Barcelona.

Looking across from our hotel, you could see the Olympic Stadium on the hillside as well as the the rest of the region. There is a large communications tower that is far more architecturally interesting than is usually the case for comms towers. This was all a bit hazy on the hot days we were there and I would like to explore in cooler weather – not least because it seems like there might be a few hills to negotiate when walking around. Something on the to do list should we head back at some point.
