Montjuic. In 1992, Barcelona hosted the Summer Olympics. Montjuic is a hill located in Barcelona near Plaça Espanya. It is located right near my apartment and sometimes I go for a run to Montjuic down Gran Via. Montjuic is the home to many different buildings and events. Palau Nacional is at the top, and today it is the Catalan Museum of Art (MNAC). In 1929, Montjuic hosted the International Exposition (World´s Fair). Then in 1992, the Olympics were held at Montjuic. Today, you can visit the stadium and if you want a great view of the city then take a trip up to Montjuic. Personally, I think it is a better view than Parc Guell. Definitely see Parc Guell, but Montjuic is also beautiful on a nice day to sit out by the fountains. At night, the fountains are lit up for a light show. Something definitely worth seeing!
