A cactus park on the cliffs looking over the port. It feels a bit forgotten about, and is guaranteed to be peaceful. There are cacti and succulent plants of all shapes and sizes, from tiny to towering (over 800 species apparently) all with a dramatic backdrop of the activity of the port, ships, containers, lorries, cranes and the blue, blue sea. A lovely and surreal place.
On the south side of Montjuic, the best way there is by the cable car from Barceloneta
