What, has it been like two weeks or something? Wow, I’m a slacker. Sorry. Let’s see if I can catch up.

On Monday, we went up to Montjuïc which is on top of a small mountain so we needed to take the gondola.

The ride was amazing. The gondola was set up so you could look straight down. It takes you up the side of the moutain, so you are never more than 40 to 60 meters off the ground, but it can still be unnerving. Even though you did not feel too high up, the views were spectacular. You could see all of Barcelona.

On top of Montjuïc is a fort that was amazing.

It was built to protect the harbor, which was massive and a sight to see all by itself.

Don’t f**k with us or else! Boom!

Surrounding the fort was a moat that has been turned into a garden.

The fort was called a castle, but other than a few parts like this, it didn’t really feel like one – at least not to me.

On our way home, we stumbled upon an amazing garden. We could have made an entire day out of exploring this place. The integration of architecture and plants was fantastic. It was peaceful and the day was perfect for relaxing under a tree.
