InterRail Soap Series part 14: More Barcelone

12) Barcelona part III: Mont Juïc

Our first sight what I wanted to show Dirk, was Mont Juïc and its castle. From here you have an amazing view over the city, harbor and sea. I remembered from my other visits that there is a cable car going from somewhere in the middle of the hill, up to the highest point (the castle) of Mont Juïc. So… we took the subway, changed on a mountain train somewhere, which brought us to the cable car station. As we arrived there, the cable car service was closed for a few months for maintenance. Hmz… what to do now. We wanted to go to that ‘highest point’. So we started to walk. The hill and path were steep and it took us about 30 minutes as we reached the castle. And of course, as we arrived at the entrance of the castle, we saw a free shuttle bus, which replaces the cable car service during the maintenance… A bus journey was taking only 5 minutes…
