Panorama Park Güell in Barcelona / Spanien
Anyone looking to get an incredible bird’s-eye view of Barcelona, Catalonia, need look no further than the hilltop ruins of the Bunkers del Carmel. 
Built as anti-aircraft fortifications in 1938, during the Spanish Civil War, the bunkers atop the hill of Turó de la Rovira were situated so that they could survey the entirety of the city. Large 105 mm cannons were mounted on the concrete and masonry defenses and helped protect Barcelona from further bombing.
After the war, the guns were removed and the bunkers were simply left to crumble. Yet the view from the site was too lovely to stay neglected for long and eventually the old bunkers became known as a beautiful, if a bit remote, place to take in the historic city.
In the 2000s, as the popularity of the site grew, the bunkers received a renovation as officials wanted to make it more appealing to tourists as well as celebrate the ancient Iberian settlement that is also nearby. The formerly secret site now regularly sees visitors, but is secluded enough that it is often still fairly private.

A trek to get to the top, but worth it.

A professional hotel with good airport pick up, most things as expected with a couple of small dissapointments. the first being there are only glasses in the room and no cups for hot drinks, the second, and all too common these days, no shelf in the shower to put your own wash stuff

The bedding was not cleaned. Where my skin touched the pillow area, I developed hives. I have to add a T shirt on top of the pillow to reduce the allergy reaction. The amenities was not changed. The room was very hot. Not sure there were any settings to make it cooler.
