Hike to Barcelona's little gem Bunkers Del Carmel

The bunkers of Carmel is a viewpoint from which you can see the whole city of Barcelona 360º  view. Tourists and locals alike are slowly discovering this gorgeous panoramic, but trust me when I say that compared to places like Park Guell the bunkers are undiscovered.

It is located at the top of Turó de la Rovira in the Carmel neighborhood with a height of 262 meters.

The Bunkers del Carmel are open 24-7 so grab a seat on one of the massive concrete slabs, crack open your Estrella or a bottle of cava, and enjoy the top Barcelona viewpoint for free.

Public drinking is widely tolerated so you’ll have no problems. Just make sure to bring some water as well because the hike is a bit tiring. Add some bread, chorizo, and cheese and maybe something sweet and you’ve got the perfect meal or sunset snack.

The closest supermarket is Suma at Carrer d’Albert Llanas 30.

If you don’t bring food make sure you fill your stomachs at nearby Restaurante Delicias (the patatas bravas are to die for) – it also doubles as a place for coffee or a solid bar for a drink.

If you’re visiting Europe’s best urban park it’s only a 20-25 minute walk for a place with less crowds and a superior view. Simply take the exit that leads to the bus parking lot and choose from one of three routes.
