Tibidabo: A Theme Park on a Mountain

  Going to a theme park in Spain was not something I honestly thought we were going to do. We didn't really have it planned and I'm not a Rollercoaster kind of person. Haha. But this theme park was nothing like in the United States. 

We left the apartment and got on the metro. Our first transportation out of the three we had to use to get there. 

The second means of transportation was the bus! With the metro card (pictured above) you can actually use that to get on all the buses around barcelona as well! The pass was $44 euro for 5 days of use! Which is a great deal to get around. It equals out to a little under $10 dollars (usd) for each day! 

We arrived at this area before we got on a funicular to take us up to the actual theme park! It was a gorgeous view of the city. 

My ticket or pass for the funicular railway! You can either ride this for a fee ($33), drive yourself, or take a taxi. The pass was round trip for the price. They also have annual passes if you are local! We bought our ticket upon arrival but you can buy it prior on their website.

My first time on a funicular! It was not a long ride but it had a really pretty view! 

The higher we got up the mountain the more excited I was to see this theme park! It was a cool experience using this to go to and from the park! 

As soon as you arrive, you are instantly met with this gorgeous multiple level church! It's called Sagrat Cor Church. It's just on the opposite side of the theme park and worth a visit being so close! Literally steps away from the park! 

The inside was just stunning. The windows, pillars, the light coming through, everything was perfect inside. 

Now, to the theme park! We waited in line and got our wrist bands for the day! I ended up getting unlimited rides just incase there was something for me! 

A cool sign right when you walk in! We also got a picture in front of it! The crowds were big and the lines took forever. It is a very popular tourist and local destination. 

Would you ride this airplane over the city? 

          Here I am in front of the church! 

Another view from a higher ground to try and show the theme park! 

I was there during the winter so it was nicer than I thought it was going to be! I wore a dress and tights and didn't end up getting cold until the sun was setting.

We waited in line for about an hour and as the sun was just starting to set we were about to load onto the ferris wheel! 

We were in line waiting and this was the photo I captured. It is one of my favorites.  

We just boarded the ferris wheel! We some how were lucky enough to get to the highest point right as the sun was illuminating the sky! 

How stunning. Words almost do nothing for the views I had. 

Even though we were getting on the ferris wheel just as the sun was setting and the wind was starting to pick up. It was totally worth it. Seeing this at the exact moment that we did was worth the wait, the cold, and the crowds. Everything was perfect in this moment.
