"Exploring the Tranquil Trails: A Peaceful Hike to Cementiri de Montjuïc

Working on an international trip can get very expensive, so I do inexpensive or free activities when I have a long layover somewhere. I had the pleasure of working on one of my favorite layovers, the city of Barcelona, in Spain. I was fortunate enough to work with my friends Chuck and Andrew. We were all on a budget, so I convinced them to hike with me and visit a cemetery. Visiting cemeteries is not on everyone's to-do list when visiting a city like Barcelona, but this was an exception. After a quick shower, we dressed, grabbed some snacks at the local bakery, and then took the bus to the Cementiri de Montjuïc.

It's such a massive and overwhelming location! This place has been on my bucket list for some time because I would always see it on top of the hill on our way to our crew hotel. It fascinated me because it was on a steep slope, and I thought it would be cool to take pictures here. Montjuic offers a great view of the city and is photogenic. The place provides classic and Gothic designs inspired by ancient monuments. There are also a few that were influenced by the Art Noveau movement. The steep slopes of the hillside give Montjuïc its unique character, and it's a great place to hike and explore if you are looking for something different.
