Cemeteries are usually a part of the history of a city and they reflect the tastes and habits of a wide array of its social groups throughout time. Barcelona Cemeteries have been organizing the Cemetery Barcelona Route since 2004 as way to involve the citizen with the collective memory of the city.

So much history, peace, and beauty. If you like Highgate Cemetary, Pere Lachaise, Abney Park, or Montparnasse, you'll love this. Featuring the Fosser de la Pedrera, Miro's tomb, and loads of neo-gothic sculptures, this is a huge cemetary built on the side of a mountain with winding paths. Sepulchres the size of small chapels are dotted in and about the corridors of stacked graves. There are so many interesting features from the personal decorations and offerings loved ones have left to the huge family tombs in various styles. It's not at all touristy, which makes it a real pleasure to wander around. Read up on the internet and download a map before you go because it's pretty much self-guided. I got the 23 bus from Placa D'Espayna to get there and the 21 bus to get from here to the centre of Barcelona. Both were very quick journeys, but check the timetables so you don't waste half an hour waiting. I spent 2.5 hours in the cemetery, but you need more to see everything. Take water, a snack, and wear trainers. There is a decent WC, but only one!

A beautiful cemetery with some amazing sculptures including the kiss of death which is situated on the left as you enter the cemetery in department 4t, it took me a while to find it as I went in the wrong direction but seen some stunning sculptures along the way, also came across a very scary, very angry seagull who kept swooping down aiming for my head and trying to poo on me, needless to say I screamed a few times in very quiet grounds but don't let the seagull put you off, this is a must see, a very beautiful, peaceful place.
