Montjuic Mountain

What is the view like?
The city of Barcelona, spectacular!

Montjuic mountain or Jewish mountain has been, throughout its history, the protagonist events, some glorious and victorious, other less or so. This mountain offer visitors many different facets, history, culture, leisure, sport, etc, etc...

I am not fancy about the history, the glory. What caught me off-guard is the journey there. We have to ride a cable car to have a view to die for. The view of the whole city of Barcelona took my breath away. Barcelona is big, errr I mean BIG. Never in my life I saw a city soo big. We can see Sagrada Familia, Tibidabao, the sea, the port. It was the view that we saw on the plane when we first arrive here, 11 months ago.

Up there, is a fort, called Montjuic Castell, now acted as Meseu Militar has been, in part, a symbol of oppression oven the centuries, as it was used to torture and execute the leaders of the Setmana Tràgica in 1909 and Lluís Companys, president of the Generalitat de Catalunya in 1940, among others. The oldest monument as it was built during the end of 17th century.

We were mesmerized by the view. Barcelona is beautiful, no doubt about that. It able to make me just enjoyed the view, say nothing. Just mesmerized.....
