And so escape we did, my pal Beth and I. We took the green line from Liceu all the way up to Mundet. As we walked out of the metro we were confronted by open space and big skies. We weren't exactly sure where the Labyrinth was, but a kind gentleman saw us and, guessing we were on an adventure, pointed us in the right direction.
We trotted off down the road and there it was. We paid something like 2.33€ each (random!) and entered.
Eventually finding our way out, we explored the rest of the park. We meandered the path next to the 'romantic canal' and into the 'romantic gardens'.
The park, once owned by the Desvalls family, is the oldest of its kind in Barcelona- dating back to the late 1700s.
If you are ever in Barcelona for an extended stay, it is certainly worth a little visit on a sunny day (when does the sun not shine in Barcelona?)...

Guapa! It's my fault really. I saw on your blog that you were off and forgot to give you a head's up... You should certainly come back to visit- Barcelona is LUSH.
DeleteLoved your Badger's Hill Farm entry by the way... I used to work there and it made me homesick! xxx
