Poble Sec & Montjuïc

Poble Sec Montjuïc is an area of wonderful contrasts: On one hand there’s Poble Sec, a neighbourhood that feels like its own little town, where beer and tapas bars are nestled alongside beautiful local shops. On the other hand, there’s the mountain of Montjuïc, home to the Universal Expo of 1929 and the Olympic Games in 1992. Keep an eye out and you’ll find beautiful gardens perfect for sunbathing and a wealth of cultural activities.

Cementiri de Montjuïc

Address
56 - 58 Carrer de la Mare de Déu de Port

An enormous and unique cemetery, located on the slopes of Montjuïc with views overlooking both the Mediterranean Sea and the city. The cemetery is characterised by its steep paths and artwork strewn between the tombs. Famous artists from many different eras, including Joan Miró, are resting in this necropolis or have left their footprints here. It’s worth taking one of the guided tours on offer: one ‘historical’ tour which takes you round the tombs of important figures in Catalan history; another ‘artistic’ tour will point out the various works and periods that are featured throughout the space. Tours are conducted on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of every month, at 11am. It’s a free activity and there’s no need to book in advance.
