A respite from the heat and crowds of Barcelona, why not take a stroll through the gardens of Laribal and enjoy the stunning views.
We discovered the gardens on our walk to the Barcelona Olympic Park – truly a hidden gem with shaded walks and stunning views.
Enjoy the wafting scents of wisteria as you look over the city.
If time permits, a relaxing stroll and visit to the Laribal Gardens is a great way to relax in such a vibrant and bustling city.
While in Barcelona, we stayed at the Hotel Lloret, on La Rambla. Les Jardins de Laribal was only a short walk away.

About Anita Mac
The bucket list just keeps growing! The more I cross off - the more exciting new destinations and activities I find!
I have been fortunate enough to travel a considerable distance over the years. My love of many things, including travel, cycling, kayaking and photography fit together like hand and glove. I have to keep asking myself....where to next?
I am happy to share my travels and photography through my blogs: http://traveldestinationbucketlist.com and http://anitamacphotos.wordpress.com Hope you enjoy them as much as I do! On to the next adventure!
Love the building in the background!
Posted by Photography by Gisele Morgan | April 20, 2012, 9:47 amMe too – love the way it just pokes up over the garden. I believe it is the National Palace – http://planergo.com/en/sights/National-Palace/
We didn’t have time to go look – but would be on my list of places to go back to.

Posted by Anita Mac | April 21, 2012, 3:48 pmThis looks like an absolutely breaktaking place to visit, Anita. I love the stonewall in that last shot!
Posted by orples | April 20, 2012, 8:46 pmIt really was. I could have spent a few hours there, or sat with a book and listened to the birds….it was breathtaking.
Posted by Anita Mac | April 21, 2012, 3:47 pmLove the 2nd shot
Posted by 2 Rivers Photos | April 20, 2012, 9:31 pmThanks. I can only imagine how wonderful it is to walk amongst all the wisteria on a hot summer day.

Posted by Mina Mahrous | April 21, 2012, 1:59 pmThe views were worth the walk up the hill. We wandered through the gardens on the way to Olympic Park. I could have spent more time there.
Posted by Anita Mac | April 21, 2012, 3:44 pmAwesome photos. Looks so peaceful…
Posted by Jodi | April 21, 2012, 2:13 pmIt really was peaceful. I was surprised there were not more people.
Posted by Anita Mac | April 21, 2012, 3:43 pmWow. It looks gorgeous!
Posted by tlbflowllc | April 21, 2012, 4:23 pmI haven’t made it to Barcelona… yet. It’s definitely on the list. I’ve only done Southern Spain – Sevilla, Granada, Algeciras. I hear Catalonia is a whole different culture.
I nominated you for an award because I love bucket lists.

Posted by byronjdkerr | April 22, 2012, 5:35 amI would love to make it out to Southern Spain – I love the spanish culture – it really feels great to wander the streets, enjoy the food and soak up the atmosphere. I could spend an entire summer and leave wanting more.
