Impressive views of Barcelona

After you have climbed the first group of steps, you will find a small path marked out by wrought-iron railings that takes you to the terrace-mirador, from where you can enjoy impressive views of the city: Collserola, Tibidabo and, in the background, the Coastal range and Montseny. A pergola covered in climbing plants and split in two by the stairs crosses the gardens. This is a great place for enjoying the shade. Further up, you will find a second terrace, covered by a section of the pergola. With its geometric beds of aromatic plants, this is also a good place for contemplating the city.

The Grec Festival

The old quarry that used to dominate this area made it possible to build an amphitheatre, where the traditional Grec Festival performances are held. The Grec is an international festival of theatre, dance and music that has been held every summer in Barcelona for over 40 years. Above the terrace there is a raised area dominated by a pavilion that houses a restaurant during the theatre season.
