Saturday Afternoon in Montjuic

Trees in Montjuic, 10-24-09

Juanjo and I are working most of this weekend (trying to get ahead since my parents arrive Wednesday and we’re taking Friday off). But we took a small break this afternoon to get some exercise and get outside in Montjuic Park. We’ve discovered this great combination: get a Bicing bike by our house, ride to the base of Montjuic park, leave it there, go for a run in the park, and then bike home. If we’re just doing that it takes about 55 minutes. But today we took a little more time, I walked while Juanjo ran, then we wandered around the gardens and the Olympic stadium.

I especially loved wandering around the gardens. It turns out there are several, including one that goes way down in this (small) canyon. And another where everything was green except one group of vines.

And then there are the installations of Montjuic itself, which hosted the 1992 olympics. The views, the sports facilities, the plazas and fountains, it’s all pretty spectacular….

All in all, an excellent afternoon after a pretty stressful week of work for both of us. Definitely made up for the fact that we’re home at our desks working this weekend!
