Sants-Montjuïc

Sants-Montjuïc

"This is one of the most underrated neighborhoods in town, especially for those that are happiest surrounded by nature. The most prominent attraction here is Plaça d’Espanya, a lush square with fountains in front of the Museum of National Art that comes alive with music and color during summer nights. There are also many parks and gardens to escape to if you need a break from the city center chaos. Head up from the museum toward the Jardins de Joan Brossa, or climb your way up to the Montjuïc Castle and observe the city grid from above. Any of these green spaces are ideal for a picnic, jog, reading a book, or even for a much-needed siesta. Sants-Montjuïc also has an affordable municipal pool where you can tan and swim for a whole day if you don’t like sand, saltwater, or waves." - MATADOR_NETWORK
