Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    The brickwork arch looks older than it is, since it was erected as main entrance gate for the 1888 Barcelona World Fair.
    The design was based on the Indian Neo-Mudéjar style.
    Of course, admission is free.

    This is a tall monument between Las Ramblas and Rambla de Mar. One can go up for a fee and get a view from the top. It looks like there is some restoration going on right now, so check their website for opening times before coming to climb it.

    For independant travelers: From Barcelona Placa Espanya Station, a regular suburban (Rodalies) commute train, the Light Blue R5 line (destination Manresa) goes to the base of the Montserrat mountain. For access up to the Monastery from the R5 line, the traveller has the choice of a rack railway (Cremallera) or a yellow Cable Car. The R5 rail line stop for the cable car is called Aeri de Montserrat. The R5 rail line stop for the rack railway is Monistrol de Montserrat. For a detailed PDF timetable of the R5 line look up online the Barcelona FGC network.
    In the large Barcelona Placa Espanya Station there are signs throughout the station showing directions for Montserrat travellers to platform and ticket machines; usually with helpful attendants nearby.
    It is possible to purchase tickets on the day for earlier departure times than those advertised in the tourist pamphlets. There are also different packages available which can include the funiculars. Also Seniors rates.
    For the best views from the mountain looking towards the Monastery, the St Michaels Cross walk along a broad path is the most rewarding.

    I saw this while running through the park one morning. There are several other statues in the park as well, but I would say this is the main one.

    I liked this sculpture better than the one behind it. It's a fun one and it looks really happy for some reason.

    By the side of the magical fountain you will find the Four Columns. The four Ionic columns originally created by Josep Puigi Cadafalch in Barcelona, Spain. They were erected in 1919.

    Nice way to reuse some old buoys. Sculptures were placed on top of the buoys, depicting a man watching the stars.
    They can be seen while walking over the wooden walkway toward Maremagnum shopping center. Some benches are available to sit and enjoy the view.

    Interesting scultpture showing a Giraffe in an flirty pose, located at the start of the Rambla street, worth a look while talking a walk in the area. There is also a second one at the other end of the Rambla street.

    El Toro Pensador is the unusual sculpture of a very thoughtful Bull! Barcelona is full of beautiful sculptures, many of them in animal form, and this one is no exception. The interesting thing here is that at the other end of Las Rambla there sits another animal sculpture (the Flirty Giraffe), and it seems as if the two animals will soon start to want to come closer to each other; but you will have to meet both animals in order to understand the connection.

    This monumental fountain is located in the middle of Placa d'Espanya. It was designed by the Spanish architect Josep Maria Jujol

    The striking-looking fountain with many sculptures is representing the three seas surrounding the Iberian Peninsula.

    The fountain was completed for the 1929 International Exposition.
