Get away from the bustling city & spend some relaxing time on the Olympic Mountain of Montjuïc - Barcelona´s green lung.

We will start at the exhibition ground of the World Fair of 1929. Ascending the hill, you will learn about this important event. While standing in front of a palace that houses the Catalan modern art museum you will have a photo moment with amazing views.

From there we will cross the Olympic Ring where the Games of 1992 were held. Passing by the Botanical Garden we'll have a glimpse into the famous cemetery of Barcelona. Once on the top we may have a break in a hidden beer garden under pine trees - if open & the weather allows.

The walk continues around the castle of Montjuïc to a breath-taking view point. Learn why the mountain has always been a natural watch tower guarding the city.

We will stroll down the slopes of the hill to the multi-cultural quarter of Poble Sec where we finish the walk in Calle Blai famous for its local tapas & pinchos bars.
