Vikings at Tibidabo

On the lower level of Tibidabo Amusement Park in Barcelona you can see this small attraction for kids where some drakkar ships navigate in circles surrounded by menacing symbols of Norse mythology such as these heads which I wouldn´t dare to call dragons. If anyone knows what they really are feel free to post a comment.

Barcelona Architecture: Collserola Tower

445 metres above sea level and 288 meters high, Collserola Tower in the natural park of the same name is an emblematic symbol of Barcelona since 1992 Olympic Games. The telecommunications antenna by Sir Norman Foster & Partners is located near Tibidabo Amusement Park, and I suggest you arrive early and visit both (although they are near the city it is not probable that you climb up twice). From the tenth floor of the structure you can have even higher panoramic views of Barcelona City and neighbouring towns but you need fair skies for good visibility behind the surrounding glass walls. For technical details visit the official site. Maybe you would like to see a full size image

Barcelona Tibidabo Amusement Park

Last Sunday I visited Tibidabo Amusement Park a leisure resort located at Barcelona highest point, inaugurated more than a hundred years ago. Although it is not among the most advanced in the world, Tibidabo is a must see in Barcelona because of its location with fabulous views over the city and beyond, as well as the combination of good service, key attractions and old classic charm. It used to be in private hands till not long ago and now it belongs to Barcelona City Council. I took dozens of pictures, but as this is a daily photoblog I will administer them wisely. Please, don´t miss the above link to the official site.
