Stillwater Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Let me take you on a summary of some city tours, with an easy-to-fly-low&slow plane out of El Prat. In the middle of this picture we have the Sants Estacio (station), where I once stayed in a fancy hotel. Just a short walk from there to La feria and the Museo Nacional, ... ... from where you can easily climb up to the Areal Olimpic. A bit further down the road you can get a great view from the Montjuic over the city, ... ... and take the Teleferic, a cable car over the harbour, surveying the Rambla del Mar. It ends near the beautiful triangle of Barceloneta, ... ... from where you may walk up the Ramblas to the Plaza Cataluna. So many touristic hotspots here, just like Antonio Gaudi´s Sagrada Familia... ... and his Parc Guell. A slight detour with the Maule brings us up to the suburb of St. Cugat. You can see the sports pitches down there? St. Cugat Hockey Club, we have played there some years ago. But in order to land we return to the airport over the industrial harbour... ... and - as always with small planes - fly slightly higher than the glide path, in order to avoid the wakes of preceding jetliners.

Sounds like you have visited the city some day? Even now with overtourism it is a beautiful place. Okay, currently there is no overtourism, but it will return. 14 hours ago, flyingleaf said: I second that. Very well done Gerold. Thanks for the tour. Thanks Karl. A good potential overseas destination for a famous Alaskan airline, enough cerveza and vino blanco there, together with good tapas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
