From Plaça Espanya up the hill — castle views, Olympic sites and the city’s other skyline.

Barcelona’s second hill. We start at Plaça Espanya, climb past the Magic Fountain and the museums, and work up toward the castle for the sea and city views. Olympic stadium, cable-car vistas, and why Montjuïc has always been fortress, cemetery and stage. Two and a half hours. Cable car ticket not included if you choose to ride down. Bring water — shade is patchy.
