10) The last stop on the hill of El Carmel



There are many way to go up the mountain of the Carmel, every path has its own charms, little clay stairs along wide terraces, little flower gardens, curvy roads..you might also meet a man and his doves, a women planting vegetables...

At the top, it s only the vestiges of the barracas, and on the ground you will see the colourful pieces of ceramics now the only remains of the barracas. The mountain is also crowned by ruins but of a different type : a military base for aerial defences build in the civil war. Nowadays it's has been reconquested by flower and graffiti. 





























 


You might be interested to know what is on the other slope of Monte Carmel? It's the parc Guell. Just a few step away you have then one of the most famous site of Barcelona, the formal part, while only a few aficionados know what is behind, the informal city beyond the grid.




Therefore dominating the city you can re picture the whole itinerary as well as the history of urbanism that we depicted for the tour. If you are lucky you will arrive for sunset and have the opportunity to see the city disappearing to silhouettes while the sun falls in the sea.
