About
A hillside park that climbs in three zones: a flat lower section with playgrounds, formal historic gardens in the middle, and pine-and-holm-oak woodland at the top. Steep paths lead up to the Mitja Lluna lookout, whose panorama takes in the Sagrada Família, Torre Glòries and the sea, a free view many locals rate above nearby Park Güell. Wear sturdy shoes for the climb.
