Things To Note:

It is important for visitors to the city to be aware that from the end of January until the first week of March (exact dates yet to be confirmed), the cable car on Montjuic is not operational due to maintenance and revisional tasks. During this time the service is always replaced in the tour by a delicious Tapas tasting session in the Spanish village.
