High-rise Cemetery
The cemetery on Montjuic is exceptional. On the one hand there are massive multi-storey monuments, and on the other there are walls covered in multi-layer tombs giving a fairly unique character (in my experience, anyway) as it climbs the hillside above the port.
Zig-zagging through it are a series of streets and staircases that take one up the hill to increasingly stunning views out over the port of Barcelona. Well, I guess the port is not that interesting: piles of containers having an interesting analog in relation to the piles of "containers" in the cemetery.
We were hoping to visit the Museum of Funerary Carriages but it seems as if it is only open for a few hours on weekends, so we walked through the cemetery to the top, out the other side and around to the Montjuic Castle, unfortunately arriving after final admissions for the day, so that was a bit of a washout all round.
A bus back into town and then a subway (Barcelona's subways are excellent) back to the apartment to rest our very weary feet after 5.5 hours of walking.
