Some other things we saw on Mount Juic, here is an old palace that is not one of the cities art museums.
It has an highly decorative and elaborate fountain system that leads from the street level up the mountain (there are more outside escalators too but they are hiding behind the trees).
Here is a view of Barcelona from the steps of the above palace. In the middle is the Magic Fountains. Unfortunately we missed the show but they supposedly give the Bellagio fountains a run for their money.
Here is the 92 olympic stadium. The day before this was the ending point for a marathon that was run through the city. They were cleaning it so we couldn't go down onto the field but it was a massive stadium.
On the other side of the mountain by the castle you can see the brilliant planning that went into Barcelona. The industrial harbor area is completely hidden from the main city by Mount Juic. There is no residential area on this side of the mountain but it looks like a complete city of its own.
