Since a few years back, Barcelona offer one of the best combinations of culture and entertainment for the summer: outdoor movies in  Sala Montjuïc. There is no better plan for the nights of Monday, Wednesday and Friday than to prepare a Picnic with good friends and eat it together sitting down on the lawn of the Montjuïc Castle, listening to live samba music while waiting for the movie to start.

Furthermore, as a tourist you cannot miss the stunning views of Barcelona that the viewpoint of the castle offers.

This week I have gone 2 times and I will continue to go, because what good is short and the open air cinema only last from June 29 until July 31.

Practical tips:
-Even though it may be very hot in Barcelona, make sure you pack warm clothes because when it starts to darken it gets chilly and as the sea is very close there is plenty of moisture.
-Rent a comfortable chair for 3 €. Although it at first appears very comfortable sit on the grass, you will not know where to put your legs after 2 hours. Furthermore, if the people in front of you have a chair, chances are you will not see the screen.
-If you do not have a car, buses goes up out of the castle from Plaza Espanya from 20.30h.
-I suggest you arrive between 20.30 and 21.00h in order to get a good seat and enjoy your picnic with live music and short film projects.
-All films are in the original version, subtitled in Spanish, so enter their site and choose one that you can understand.
-Price of entrance: 5 €.
