The highlights of these gardens, which ring the castle of Montjuic, are the pathways along the walls of a flower-filled moat or the cannons dotted among the rose bushes.

These gardens are very popular all year long with kids, thanks to the musical instruments, climbing frames, and the flying fox. During the spring this place comes into their own.
