Amazong view of Barcelona. You can see everything. I would recomend to go on top of the bunkers and stay there for a couple of minutes to admire the view and after i would go down the stairs and stay at the bridge under rhe bunkers. The view is the same but there is no people. When we visited the police came at 17:40 to close the bunker so i would recomend the other option that is 50 meters down the stairs. It is worth it

I can't believe I lived in Barcelona for years without coming to this place. It's a hilly hike if you come from the Carrer de Tenerife entrance, but nothing impossible. The view from up there is stunning, you can see the whole grand Barcelona metropolitan area and even one of the Balearics islands. It gets crowded but it adds to the experience. Police came at 7pm sharp and kicked everyone out. The bus 22 right around the corner ar Carrer de la Gran Vista gets you up and down. Very worth it. Bring some beers and enjoy the sunset.

Very nice view over the city of Barcelona. The walk to the top takes about 10–15 minutes and is quite steep. You can also take a bus instead. At the start of the route, there are small shops where you can buy drinks and snacks. Important to know: you can stay there until 7 p.m. and it can get very crowded in good weather.
