great cemetery, lots to walk and pretty cool views. Especially at golden hour. the signaled routes I found a bit confusing and couldn't access the "guided" map online.
It was the Wine Festival in Villanova I Getru on the La Rambla main walking street of this incredible lively and beautiful seaside city! It's about 25 minutes from Barcelona and 5 minutes from Sitges, the Art and bohemian city of Spain. The Wine Festival is called Temps de Vi, was spectacular 3 days with countless of wine cellars represented from Catalonia, absolutely Superior quality vinos and sparkling vinos! Artisan food stands provided special food from their cheese , meat and pastry, besides all restaurants on La Rambla were open for service! Beautiful sea playa with a special statue of Mother Cow, representing that the life of cows/bulls are respected here in Catalonia, no bullfighting or other use of bulls, it's been banned long years ago! Spectacular city with lively expat groups, super social network life as well! 🥰
Actually a very interesting place. I have not seen a cemetery like this before. It is mostly big walls with kind of crypts of 6 levels. There are roads for cars and even a bus stop in the cemetery. There is also a great view into the harbour.
One of the most beautiful cemeteries I've ever seen.
My first impression was wowwwww, just WOW! I have visited many cemeteries but this one ist just incredible. It’s really big area but the most beautiful ones are luckily not too far from the entrance. They really put sooo much effort to create the fantastic art works.
A small tip: the taxi app can be very useful. We planned to take a bus back to town but we missed it, the next one would be in 40 minutes. It was cold and windy and there’s nothing near so the taxi app just saved our lives. 😅
Unique and big cemetery, we walked there it took us an hour to get from our area (Gothic quarter). If you’re into cemetery tourism then this is the place for you to visit.
Some really unique things to see in this cemetery! It was quite difficult for me to get here without a car and I didn’t take a bus. Bad idea. Other than that there were some really cool sculptures!
Pretty cool and cooky cemetery. Some of the tombs are monumental. Definitely lots of egos went into some of them. Interesting and quiet place to contemplate the finality of life.
