Placa d'Espanya and Montjuic

We just have a little over half a day to spare so we decided to arrange our things, checkout and leave our luggages at the hostal before going out.  We took the metro from Placa Catalunya (Catalunya station) to Placa d'Espanya (Espanya station).

L1 Metro stops

I think the metro stop is just below the plaza itself. We followed the exit going to Montjuic.  One of the exits is going to Arenas de Barcelona, which is also just around the plaza.

Once out in the streets, we've already seen which direction we need to take.  It's going to this elevated structure and fountain.  Below are pictures as we went up the stairs (and escalator, yes there's an escalator :P).

From MNAC, we continued going uphill until we got to the Olympic stadium.

We stayed for a bit, took some pictures and went back to the area of Placa de Catalunya for some lunch before getting our bags and head to the airport.

It was a very short stay in Barcelona and, hopefully, I would be able to go back.
