	Tibidabo: A "divine" view

Tibidabo view of Barcelona

by rexvaughan

This is one of two mountains overlooking Barcelona. I read that the word "Tibidabo" comes from the Latin "to thee I shall give." James Michener, in his book "Iberia" tells of a proud Catalan man who insisted on taking Michener to this mountain for the spectaclar view of the city and surrounding area. When they reached the top the man explained that this is where the devil brought Jesus to tempt him - this is probably the origin of the name. At any rate, it is a great vantage point for great views. There is also an amusement park as you can see in the photo. We didn't venture into it, but it would be a good place for kids.

	Tibidabo: I will give you

Sagrat Cor Church

by stiab3

Tibidabo gets it name from the bible. When Satan tempted Jesus by showing him all the riches of the world from a mountain top, he said "...haec omnia tibi dabo si cadens adoraveris me" which means "All this I will give you if you fall down and worship me"

The name tibidabo refers to the views and that view is spectacular. The two main attractions at Tibidabo are the church (Sagrat Cor) and the amusement park.

Directions: Grey Metro Line, then Blue extension to Funicular del Tibidabo.

Torre de Collserola (or Torre Foster) is a uniquely designed tower located on the Tibidabo hill in Barcelona. It was designed by architect Lord Norman Foster, and built in 1992 for the 1992 Olympic Games. It features a pod for floor space like many towers but uses guide lines for lateral support like a mast. Mainly used as a TV and radio transmitter, this futuristic design provides the highest viewpoint over the city. The top antenna reaches 288.4m (946 ft) and the top of the pod, which has thirteen floors, reaches 152m (499 ft). The tenth floor of the pod is open to the public.
