Barcelona is geographically blessed, bordered on one end by the Mediterranean, and the other by Mount Tibidabo. The name Tibidabo comes from a Latin Bible verse of the story of Satan tempting Jesus "…et dixit illi haec tibi omnia dabo si cadens adoraveris me"[2] — "And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me" (Matthew 4:9). Quite fitting seeing that from ontop of Tibidabo you can look down on all of Barcelona and its pleasures! A pretty tempting offer I must say. These pictures are from 2 weekends ago when Julien's girlfriend came in town from Paris. We left with the intention on reaching the summit of Tibidabo, but missed the last Funicular. But, we found a bunch of mountain biking trails that lead up the mountain and were still able to see some killer views. Hopefully soon I'll be able to climb all the way up.
A view of the southern part of the city and Montjuic (small mountain where the Olympic Park is located)
A view of the other side of the city
Julien doesn't like when I take pictures of him
Incredible view
There are some sweet (and famous) houses on the way up
