You step out of a narrow Eixample street into bright Mediterranean light and let the driver take the city’s hum behind you. The road climbs into Collserola’s green ridge; the air cools, and the city unfolds like a map — rooftops, the cathedral spire, the sea pulling light toward the horizon. First stop: the Carmel bunkers, a raw concrete rim with a 360° gaze. Despite the name, the site was an anti‑aircraft post during the Spanish Civil War rather than a series of protected bunkers, and it still holds a civic energy where locals come at dusk to watch the city shift.
