ponies

up on montjuic, there is a hidden stable full of ponies, which look a lot like full on horses. there's a poster up that says that you can rent them for rides, though i think they are confined to the paddock. there's another sign that says to keep out, but there aren't many people watching, so you can pretty much walk up and pet the ponies if you want. there's also a little bar where you can enjoy a beer and snack in the midst of the horsey smelliness.

montjuic

the castle on montjuic can be quite pretty at night, and at sunset, there's a nice view of the lights in the port. there's also a stable of ponies hidden away on the montain, as well as the olympic facilities, which can be kind of creepy in their abandonment and a little boring. but nice. there's also a bar near the castle that i've never been able to find, but if you're there in the summer, i hear that it's worth looking for.
