A walk through the green zone of Montjuic mountain with an ascent to it and a descent to Barceloneta to the beach.
We started the hike from Plaza Españ a, along the fountains (they didn’t work in the morning), bypassing the Royal Palace from three sides, into the green park area. A gift of fate - we passed the vertical part of the way uphill near the Palace on escalators! Our legs, already buzzing from intense exercise, were happy! But yesterday, in some incomprehensible courage, we walked up to the 8th floor of Casa Milla (what nonsense! ), instead of using the elevator!
Gorgeous views of the Royal Palace from different sides framed by greenery.
Along the route there are entrances to numerous parks and gardens, about a dozen in number. Beautiful. We do not go - there is no time. The way to the funicular did not seem long. We rise on it to the fortress of Montjuic. The cabins are modern and comfortable. The lift can also be reached by metro.
We go into the fortress (5e) - a military facility of the 20th century, that is, not a medieval castle at all.
We are interested today mainly as an observation deck on top of Montjuic with views of Barcelona, the commercial port, and the sea.
We descend by a different route - to another funicular that takes us to the Barceloneta area. So you need to walk a little, again through several gardens / parks, one of them, with a cascade of fountains (modern), is very pretty.
At the funicular station - a cafe on a panoramic platform, sat, ate ice cream, took another portion of the views from above.
The funicular itself is a hundred years old at lunchtime, and it looks the same, it looks like trams from the time of my childhood))))))).
