At the highest top.

Do you want to see Barcelona spread out before you? If it is, you have to get Tibidabo - the tallest mountain in the  Serra de Collserola. And it also will be a nice journey if you like something extraordinary.  At first you`ll make a trip by  The Tramvia Blau, which dates from 1901, - the survivor of the old Barcelona. It runs 1,276 metres up to the foot of the Tibidabo funicular, past Modernista and Noucentista buildings that give way to nature and splendid views of the city. After a rise on the funicular, which you will also enjoy because of stirring views, you`ll get the  amusement park. Don`t  grudge 2 euro for a ride on  Talaia. This emblematic ride, opened in 1921, will give you breath-taking views of Barcelona from a height of 550 metres (1500 feet) above sea level.  I`m not afraid of height, but I had my heart in my mouth! Standing at the highest top you feel like you own the world! P.S. If you don`t worry about your Iphone`s safety, you`ll get amazing pictures.

Just Bike it!

Barcelona is a bike-friendly city with more than 180 km of cycle lanes. It's the fastest and ecologically friendly way to get to know the city discovering more than on foot. So we took 2 bikes and moved around Barcelona as the locals do! It was pleasent to explore new hidden corners and well-known attractions from another side. In the end of our ride we drove to the harbour to enjoy the beautiful view of sun and sea which you don't find in rainy Moscow:)

Hello from Barcelona.

Ola, amigos! So nice to come back to Barcelona! Hope, the weather will be sunny like today:) The flight was very early, but pleasent and quick. After we had checked in our hotel, we slept for two hours and then went outside to explore neighborhood. It was a long walk through the main Avenue Diagonal with a little rest at cafe for a cup of latte. Now we are a little bit tired, but excited about tomorrow 's plan! Wish you great Sunday and a good night!
