Visting Montjuic Park and Castle

I often visit Montjuic park and castle.The views from the castle are some of the finest in Barcelona. You have access all sides of the city from the airport to the west to the coasts of the Maresme to the east. Everything that you can see seems like fantasy land, almost something that Gaudi would have dreamt up. At the top of the park is a castle that is over 100 years old. It has guns and cannons and at the same time there are orange trees at the top. Moreover, there is a big park below the castle with fountains and beautifully designed landscapes. I enjoy relaxing in the park as it is very peaceful and clean.

To get to the castle you can go to the by bus and funicular from Parallel station and then you can go to the cable cars from Montjuic park to the top of the castle. I enjoy getting to the castle by bus because it has a lot of nice views as the bus winds its way to the top. The bus and  the funicular mountain train is cheap and it is covered by the T-10 or travelcard. The cable cars however, cost around 6 euros per person.

The top of castle has a lot of tourist facilities such as toilets and you can buy coffee, drinks and other snacks. The prices are a bit expensive but still worth it.

I find that Montjuic is a really nice park compared to London's parks because it is quite high up and you have full sweeping city vistas.
