Montjuic Cable Car /Teleferic de Montjuic - Take the Barcelona Experience to the Limit

Montjuic Cable Car /Teleferic de Montjuic, Barcelona, Spain [enlarge]

The Montjuic cable car known in Catalan as Telefèric de Montjuïc, is the perfect spot to take the Barcelona experience to the limit. Not in the middle of the winter of course, although now they are protected against inclement weather, but in the spring as shown in this picture. Knowing you need a glimpse of sunny Barcelona sometimes to better digest your dull skies I decided to drop this image into my streamline now that no one is looking. If you happen to see that lady over there during your visit ask her to please step out of the picture next time. You ought to know it is not the first time a cable car appears here so I will skip technicalities except for a wonderful video for you to get an idea of what the ride on the cable car is like: Barcelona Teleferic

The towers were built by Carlos Boigas in 1931 after Barcelona Universal Exhibition. Cable cars move about 70 meters above the ground. With a capacity of 19 passengers cabins take 5 minutes to cover the itinerary at an interval of 10 minutes between each other. Prices have changed but they don't exceed 10 euros as of yet.
