Walks in Montjuïc
Montjuïc: the botanic garden and the seaward cemetery

Up the funicular, through the water-lily terraces to the fortress, and the whole sea laid out below.

Sorted by distance from the start of montjuïc: the botanic garden and the seaward cemetery. Good for stitching together a longer day.
Poble Sec: the three chimneys and Carrer de Blai
The old music-hall avenue, a Civil War shelter in the hillside, and a street of one-euro pintxos.
Sant Antoni and the market
An iron market, a Sunday book fair, and the vermut strip that woke this corner up.
El Raval: the fat cat, the skaters, and the oldest church
Botero's bronze cat, the white museum where the city skates, and a Romanesque cloister behind it all.
Sants: the dragon-slide park and the long high street
A surreal 1980s park with a dragon slide, then one of Europe's longest shopping streets.
