At the Mountain of Madness

A couple of weeks ago we decided to explore our neighborhood and try to find the "Northern Passage" to Parc Güell.  Here is what happened...

We left our house and walked up the hill. 

We found some grassy stairs and...

walked up the stairs. 

As we walked up the hill we saw many
beautiful views of the city.
But we were not yet at the top, so we continued to walk up...

and up...

and up...

until we were at the top,
with beautiful (if hazy) views of the city all around!

We then walked down the other side of the hill
and found ourselves in Parc Güell.

where we sat on a bench and read some
Harry Potter in Spanish.
