Tibidabo, Barcelona – Sian Summerton, April 2015

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Sian Summerton

Since arriving in Barcelona at the beginning of January, I have visited Tibidabo a number of times. Tibidabo is s mountain located in the northwest area of Barcelona. The top of the mountain houses a Catholic church, a telecommunications tower and a theme park. This mountain, some 1,679 feet tall, is the highest of the Collserola mountain range.

Tibidabo

The name ‘Tibidabo’ comes from the Latin meaning “I will give to you” and was said to Jesus by the devil as they looked down on the world from a high mountain.

The views from here really are incredible, you are able to see the whole of the city and the Mediterranean sea.
