Keep left for Tibidabo, enjoy some water from the fountain first :-) I’m taking the longer way as I like some of the buildings and views but you can keep on the trail going up steep.

Mission accomplished!

You’ve made it. From here you can take Peu de Furnicular to Plaza Catalunya and switch to L1 or L3 metro to Plaza España. If you have the energy go up the steps of Plaza España and all the way to the Olympic area. - From here at Peu de Furnicular you can also keep walking down to Sarria and Sant Gervasi pretty towns. Just some examples of many things you can do for walking lovers like us
