Parc del Guinardo
In which we march the dog and the boy to the top of the hill, two times in one day
Today we explored the large hilltop park at our doorstep. Closest to the neighborhood, it has a 19th century Romantic feel, with picturesqe outdoor rooms, fountains and stonework. Paths ascend the hill at a fairly steep grade, offering a good urban hike and great views of the city. At the top, the ruins of a civil war era battery and a shanty town make for a popular picnic spot.
