tibidaberr



last friday, a group of us "scaled the mountain" up to tibidabo. it was quite exciting, even while we were in transit on the finicular, just because the site is so easily seen from the city, yet seems so far away and inaccessible. it was interesting to finally be somewhere we had been seeing constantly in our peripheries. the amusement park, though infinitely tacky, and at times even more lame (ask rosalyn about the big red plane that just circles around and around and..yeah), was still quite entertaining.


we had a great view of the city (many of the rides were better than they normally would be at any lame state fair, as each one offered some new view down to barcelona. we were also quite close to Norman Foster's Torre de Telecomunicaciones. even if you don't like the work, it is quite impressive in its scale and, as we all know by now, stakes its claim on tibidabo. it was refreshing to see a really different area, and while it was steeping with tourists, i would suggest venturing up and being goofy for a day. you will get some amazing pictures, and a really great perspective of the city.
