◆Access to Tibidabo
There seems to be a convenient funicular called Tibidabo Funicular, but it was unexpectedly closed for the winter season during my visit. The cable car is called Funicular Cuca de Llum. It seems the upper station is called Superior and the lower station is called Inferior. Outside of winter, it would be good to aim for the Estació Inferior station.

◆Gaudí's Rival: Essential Knowledge about Barcelona!

This time, I focused on sightseeing other than Gaudí, but even with Gaudí, I didn't fully grasp all of his works during my tour. I was surprised when I came across something I thought wasn't Gaudí but it turned out to be! When sightseeing in Barcelona, ​​it's worth remembering Gaudí's rivals, Muntaner and Puig, as their names pop up everywhere you look, which can be quite surprising. I was particularly surprised by Puig's four columns in front of the National Art Museum of Catalonia! The four columns represent the four red stripes of the Catalan flag...or rather, I should explain "Catalonia" first. Catalans, who speak Catalan, are said to be particularly independent and have a strong sense of belonging as Catalans, and even though they are part of Spain, they still have a strong sense of pride and dignity as Catalans. In fact, Catalan is often displayed before Spanish in the city. That's why the Catalan flag (yellow with four red stripes) is flown separately from the Spanish flag in Barcelona, ​​and it seems that it is still deeply ingrained in the minds of the people. So, those four gigantic columns symbolize the aspirations of the Catalan people for modern democracy, and although the columns, which appear to be empty on top, seem to be supporting nothing, they actually support the great aspirations and national ideology of the Catalan people. Knowing that it was a work by Pucci, Gaudí's rival, was truly a flood of knowledge. Could you really look at those four gigantic columns without knowing anything and just say, "Wow, that's amazing, I don't know anything about it"? The fact that Tibidabo means "I will give to you," and that Aurora, the goddess of dawn in Greek mythology, symbolizes the beginning of things—there were so many things I was glad to learn. I realized that knowledge is essential for sightseeing in Barcelona, ​​and ultimately, I'm glad I learned this. I can say I truly visited Barcelona.
