Interesting reading on Barcelona:
Tibidabo
- Mountain Of Devil by Anil Gupta
It
is believed that Devil seduced Christ on a mountain like Tibidabo. In fact,
the sight of Barcelona from the summit of the 542-meter high mountain is
seductive. Barcelona is laid in minuscule form - Montjüic and the
sea frame all the familiar sights and roads of the city can be viewed from
here.
Tibidabo
is on one side of the city, while the Collserola hills rise sharply and
verdantly up behind Barcelona to the north. At the northeastern side of
Avinguda Diagonal is the new Diagonal Mar commercial, office, and residential
development.
At 542m, Tibidabo forms the backdrop
to Barcelona and at the same time is the highest hill in the wooded range.
On a clear fine morning, it's a great place for views over the city. The
people of Barcelona come up here for some thrills at the amusement park
Parc d'Atraccions, which has rides and a house of horrors. However the
main attraction at the Parc, however, is the glass lift that goes 115m
up to a visitors' observation area at Torre de Collserola telecommunications
tower. The not so adventurous type can find solace in Temple del Sagrat
Cor, Barcelona's Sacré Coeur. Towering above Tibidabo's funicular
station, there are actually two churches, one on top of the other. The
top one is surmounted by a giant Christ and has a lift to the roof.
The Tibidabo Mountain can be called
city's landmarks for a number of reasons. Firstly, the illustrative church
by the same name is located on the peak of the mountain. Secondly, the
amusement park is the oldest of its kind in Spain and the second oldest
in Europe (it was constructed in 1899). As it is so old it has not only
retained some classic attractions, which are well-known and popular amongst
locals, but also at the same time incorporated the latest in amusement
park fare. One of the most exceptional items is an exact reproduction of
the airplane that was used for the first flight between Barcelona and Madrid
in 1928. The airplane gives visitors the chance to see the city from above
for a few moments without ever having to leave the park.
The park also consists of the Tibidabo
Museum of Automatons, located in an old theatre that dates back to 1909.
It houses a collection of old mechanical toys that worked by inserting
a coin a common feature at European fairs in the past. The museum is amongst
the most complete in its kind, especially because the pieces are in such
excellent condition, and the collection includes many peculiar mechanical
toys pertaining to that era.

The Best way to visit Mount Tibidabo
is to arrive at it via the Avinguda del Tibidabo. There are some very interesting
villas by several different architects. The so-called "Tramvia Blau" (blue
tram) goes up this avenue and is the only one of its kind left in Spain.
At the end of the first stage of the ascent is La Font del Racó
Park, and, on the right-hand side inside a Modernist building, there is
the Science Museum and planetarium which attract many visitors. The avenue
ends in the Plaça del Peu del Funicular where there are restaurants
for eating outside and night clubs.
