Great post Hannah with wonderful points of interest, especially the restaurants, added this to our list for a visit to Barcelona in a few months. Cheers!

Thanks so much Meg, I’m glad you enjoyed the guide to the area. I agree on the Olympic Stadium, I was totally gutted! Those early memories really do stay with us and have such an impact 🙂

It really is a wonderful area of the city, with lots to see and do. I will just have to go back again to get in the stadium – and agreed on the Museum, it’s just lazy!!

It really was on the day too – so much enjoyable and then so much disappointment! It was so frustrating in the museum, but the rest definitely made up for it 🙂

Fantastic guide of all the many things to see and do in this area. How interesting that this is where the city started! It all looks so lovely from the streets to the gardens to the views. But that is definitely a MAJOR disappointment not to get to see the Olympic park! For me it was the 1988 Olympics held in Calgary that first got me started on loving the Olympics. I can still remember watching them and asking my parents a million questions. Those early memories really stay with us and I’m just sad that you didn’t get to see the stadium as you hoped to.

Montjuïc looks like a great area of Barcelona, with a good mix of things to see and do. The gardens are beautiful and Refugi 307 sounds fascinating. It’s such a shame the stadium was closed – how frustrating. The Olympic Museum would have driven me barmy, too. I can’t bear it when the information in museums or attractions is wrong. Fact checking isn’t hard!

Wow, this was a rollercoaster. The tree with the purple flowers is beautiful! I’m not much of an art person either, so I’m with you there. The olympic stadium… how utterly frustrating. I’m so sorry. The olympic museum… I’d have been wanting to tear down the exhibits too, I think. Hopefully the cable car, castle, and delicious food made up for some of the disappointment.

We have a few venues still too. The luge/skeleton track is still up and is used, as well as speedskating oval. Ski jumps are there but not used.

Agreed. Some “art” makes me scratch my head.
