Vallcarca is the great unknown in Barcelona. We all have secrets, so why shouldn't the Condal have any? This neighbourhood is demanding for those of us who hate hills, but the effort is always rewarded with spectacular views and beautiful modernist towers from the early 20th century. And I see a few of them on my walk...
There's something epiphanic about climbing a hill, isn't there? Life is certainly not the same when seen from above.
