 At 542m (1778ft), Tibidabo is the highest hill in the wooded range that
forms the backdrop to Barcelona. If the air's clear, it's a great place
for views over the city. The locals come up here for some thrills at the
amusement park Parc d'Atraccions, which has rides and a house of horrors.
As hair-raising as anything at the Parc, however, is the glass lift that
goes 115m (126yd) up to a visitors' observation area at Torre de Collserola
telecommunications tower. The more sedate can find solace in Temple del
Sagrat Cor, Barcelona's answer to Paris' Sacre Coeur; it's even
more vilified by aesthetes than its Paris equivalent. Looming above Tibidabo's
funicular station, it is actually two churches, one on top of the other.
The top one is surmounted by a giant Christ and has a lift to the roof.
