Horta-Guinardó, Barcelona

13/10/2020

​​​What I did and saw:

​MUHBA Turó de la Rovira (Mirador de les bateries)-
​One of the best free views of the city of Barcelona is from the Bunker del Carmel. At sunset on a day with good weather (which happens often in Barcelona), you'll find many people taking advantage of this view. It is a nice walk up to the viewpoint, but I'd suggest bring a bottle of water (and/or local wine) on your walk up. The area was formerly used as a military bunker, but now it  fortunately  has a more peaceful use.

​Parc del Laberint d'Horta-
The Labyrinth Park has a maze of highly grown hedges to navigate through. It is very inexpensive, and is even free on select days/times.

​​​Where I ate and drank:

Comida de Olla​-
My favorite "menu del dia" I've had in the city of Barcelona was at Comida de Olla. The service, food, and value were excellent, and I was fortunate enough to be there just prior to the owners going on vacation (and the restaurant closing for that time), so I was given some free food and drink as well.

My favorite thing:

Because it's outside the city center, the Lbryinth Park is often overlooked by tourists and even many locals. However, it is worth the visit and can make for a fun morning or afternoon. 

My least favorite thing:

While there are some things in Horta that are definitely worth exploring, it is located on the outskirts of the city of Barcelona.

For next time:

Next time in Horta I'd like to check out the Recinte Modernista de Sant Pau.
