Spanish village Poble Espanyol de Montjuic Review

This village was built between 1926 and 1929. Here you find from all regions of Spain representative samples of the architecture. I must say I wasn't wild about it. But if you like to see Spain in one day, well this is it.

Monument of Columbus Monument a Colon - Columbus Monument Review

The monument is built at the place where Columbus stepped ashore in 1493 after discovering America. You can go to the top and have a view over the Ramblas and the harbour. Its a very small elevator and for those who are claustrophobic, better don't do it.

Directions: Las Ramblas
