Jardines de Laribal (Laribal Gardens)

The Laribal Gardens, located on the lower slopes of Montjuic and next to the larger Jardins de Joan Maragall, are a five-hectare terraced landscape built for the 1929 Barcelona World's Fair. The Joan Miró Foundation museum is located near the Escales del Generalife, a long and steep set of stone steps inspired by the Alhambra, on the park's eastern end.

The Font del Gat (Fountain of the Cat), a favorite picnic site, is one of the garden's most notable sculptures and beautiful fountains. If you forgot to bring a picnic, a café is conveniently located nearby. In terraced gardens, the park's flora includes a mix of trees, aromatics, and decorative flowers. Among the cypress, fig, and palm trees, visitors will find ivy, as well as more formal gardens of rosemary, lavender, and geraniums, as well as the Colla de l'Arrs rose garden. While you're there, take a trip over to the Greek Theater (Teatre Grec), which is just north of the eastern end of the park at the Escales del Generalife and has gorgeous gardens surrounding it.
