We start the route in Plaza de Espa\u00f1a, next to the Venetian towers, built during the Universal Exhibition of 1929.<br \/>\nWe went through Caixaforum, and Poble Espanyol, that\u00a0this time we did not visit them because we know them too well, (if you have not recently been, do not miss).<br \/>\n<strong>OLYMPIC RING <strong>MONTJU\u00cfC<\/strong><\/strong><br \/>\nWith joy and tranquility, because the<b class=\"b5\">\u00a0<\/b>unevenness is progressive, we went directly to the Olympic ring of Montju\u00efc, an open space for children to explore with their bikes and\u00a0the first stop for the adult ones.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9890\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/en\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/montjuic_bici_con_ninos_2.jpg\" alt=\"montjuic_bici_con_ninos_2\" width=\"880\" height=\"583\" \/><br \/>\nWe cross the Palau Sant Jordi, the white Calatrava Tower and its spectacular 136 meters height,\u00a0the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium, and we passed in front of the Olympic and Sports Museum.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9892\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/en\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/montjuic_bici_con_ninos_5.jpg\" alt=\"montjuic_bici_con_ninos_5\" width=\"880\" height=\"583\" \/><br \/>\nThis whole area is called <strong>\u201cOlympic ring &#8220;<\/strong> because its buildings have been built or renovated due to\u00a0the Olympics the were held in our city. The olders think that \u201cfour days have passed \u201csince Barcelona&#8217;92, while children will surely associate the Palau Sant Jordi with a Disney event that we have been as a family.<br \/>\nWe continue the route towards the Palauet Alb\u00e9niz.<br \/>\n<strong>GARDENS MARAGALL and\u00a0PALAUET ALBENIZ<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is a place we love. Joan Maragall gardens are a quiet, leafy place with a tinkling water fountain, chaired by Palauet Alb\u00e9niz, a majestic and stately building.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9888\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/en\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/albeniz_2.jpg\" alt=\"albeniz_2\" width=\"768\" height=\"509\" \/><br \/>\nThe interior of the building can not be visited. It was built as the official residence of Alfonso XIII and its family during the Universal Exhibition of 29. Since then, many famous people have stayed at the Palauet Alb\u00e9niz. Today is the official residence of King Philip during their visits to Barcelona.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9887\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/en\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/albeniz_1.jpg\" alt=\"albeniz_1\" width=\"768\" height=\"509\" \/><br \/>\nBarcelona views from here are stunning. We could end the route here and it would have been worthwhile. If you want to visit it, remember that it is open to the public only\u00a0on Saturdays and Sundays until 15h!!!<br \/>\n<strong>MIR\u00d3 FOUNDATION <\/strong><br \/>\nBut we decided to go a little further , leaving to our right the Mir\u00f3 Foundation, at whose children&#8217;s activities we are credited &#8211; Miro Family :=)<br \/>\nFrom the Mir\u00f3 Foundation you can go\u00a0to eat at La Caseta del Migdia , a place with one of the best views of Barcelona.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-9889\" src=\"https:\/\/barcelonacolours.com\/en\/..\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/caseta_migdia_7.jpg\" alt=\"caseta_migdia_7\" width=\"979\" height=\"734\" \/><br \/>\nBut we decided to enjoy of the descent\u00a0biking, and eat grilled meat at La Terraza Restaurant La Foixarda, watching horses and ponies.
