It carries the name “Jewish Mountain”, called after an important Jewish tomb that existed here in the Middle Ages. Above the Port you can reach this park which is only 213 meter higher.

Later in the years this area transformed into a disused one and became a second-hand area.

Today it is one of the biggest attractions in Barcelona and a big draw also. If you are lucky, your vacation rental in Barcelona could have straight view.
