In the afternoon after going to la Sagrada familia, we all hopped into the car and we took a drive to montjuic. Which gas a big castle on top of it and if you look off the mountain you can see the graveyard which is all tombs...
We went up to a viewing restaurant half way up the mountain so that we could have a drink before our trek up to the top. It was really pretty and we could see all of the fancy harbor with the big boats! Sadly there were no cruise ships! So we didn't get to see how really huge they are!!! We hopped back into The car to drive ip as far as we could before we needed to walk... It was really pretty with all the trees which were really tall and had very few branches at the bottom... It was also rather dark! ;)
We went to go see the graveyard. It was so strange because it looked like the whole area was made of flats with very odd shaped windows everywhere which we found out later to be tombs and people were put in these strange windows! It's kinda nasty a stack full of dead people! Originally the graveyard was right on the edge of the mountain and the sea and the only way to get there was by boat... Which seemed to me to be pretty cool... But expensive. However now the harbor is in place of the sea. So you can drive to visit your dead relatives on the tomb 9 on the 3rd floor of block g... In the graveyard!
After this we went up to see the castle that had been built on top on the mountain it seems like it was never royalty that lived here... ;( bummer. But it was rather a military fort or something... How there are big cannons perched around and you can go up into the castle to look at the 360 view from the top deck! Sadly it was closed fort us, but it was still worth the walk. The castle even had a moAt... Which I'd now empty and had pretty gardens at the bottom... But still it had a moat! How cool!!!
After that we strolled back down the mountain to go home and pack for Andorra ;)
