Montjuic area
by call_me_rhia
Montjuic was the Jewish area of Barcelona: in the past it used to host a Jewish cemetary and a Jewish community - the name, in fact, means mountain of the jews. It starts more or less at Plaça d'Espanya Today Montjuic is a green 212 m high hill which has entetered the history of Barcelona as the site of 1992 Olympic Games. On top of some sports locations there are also interesting museums to visit (Joan Miro, National Archaelogical Museum, National Museum of Catalunyan Art, the Archeological Museum of catalunya).

WALKING THROUGH BARCELONA.....

You will see many of these wonderful little works of Art.
The idea came from Antoni Gaudi and he even went fo far that in the whole city of BARCELONA glass was gathered for these "pictures" in between white pieces of mosaic.
In fact everyone did his/her part to make places colourful and bright, especially the Spanish sun knows how to make them look like GEMS.
Enjoy them....
So high - Cristobal Colon

I think the "Mirador de Cristóbal Colón" it's not a very famous monument in Barcelona, once I was there accidentally. But, in my opinion, in spite of the small (and oppressive) elevator, the 360º sightseeing on the top of the Mirador is great!
I don't know the prices (once I had Barcelona Card, who gives free access), but in my opinion it worths the visit

Bodega Miguel Torres.
I took a train from Sants (Barcelona's main rail station) to Vilafranca. The bodega (winery) sent a driver to pick us up and gave us a VIP-style tour of their facilities. Of course, Rioja is Spain's more famous wine region, but this area, known as Penedes, makes some truly outstanding wines. The tour is free and includes wine tasting!
