I was very skeptical of taking this cable car between the port and mount Montjuïc but Kristel has this on her wish list. There are only two cable cars on this line, one in each direction. There are no seats inside the cabin and you have to stand together with about twenty people. Choose your position strategically when taking pictures. When you are in the middle of the cabin you can forget it.
The journey took about seven minutes but I was glad to have done this. The views of the port are amazing. We saw several cruise ships, the modern pedestrian bridge from high above it, the port authority palace and much more. At a certain moment we hung straight above a parking lot with yellow vans, I really like that picture.
Ik was zeer terughoudend deze kabellift tussen de haven van Barcelona en de berg Montjuïc te nemen maar Kristel wou dit absoluut doen. Er hangen twee gondels op de lijn, één in iedere richting. In de cabine voor ongeveer 20 personen zijn er enkel staanplaatsen. Neem je positie strategisch in zodoende dat je leuke foto's kan maken. Van in het midden van de gondel kan je dit wel vergeten.
De rit nam ongeveer 7 minuten in beslag en ik kreeg geen spijt van Kristel haar keuze. Het zicht over de haven was ongelooflijk. We zagen verschillende cruise schepen, de moderne voetgangersbrug van op grote hoogte, het paleis van de havenautoriteit en nog veel meer. Op een bepaald ogenblik hingen we recht boven een parkeerterrein met gele bestelwagens, dit is een foto waar ik van hou.
