It used to be a flak bunker during the Civil War, but now it’s a picnic venue and a great viewpoint.
It takes more than 30 minutes to walk from the metro guinardo of the yellow line, which includes going up stairs and walking up the hill. But once you reach the top you realize it’s worth the effort. Also, you can take bus 24 in front of Corte Ingles of Plaça Catalunya and get off in Ctra del Carmel-Mühlberg and walk up Carrer de Mühlberg until you see a stairway path on your left. That way is nearly 45 minutes by bus and 15 minutes walking up.
Sometimes you can even find people playing guitar and singing, or you can bring your own portable speakers and mp3 player and have a party with the best view ever!
In any case, whether you’re going for a picnic, a party, sightseeing or sunbathing, bring enough water for the climbing and sun block.
Be aware, despite the fact it’s not really a slaughterhouse, scaffold or a gallows, after the sun is gone the place might be a stage for unscrupulous, callous, unseemly shows at odds with conventional standards.

I live very closed to this spot.. and I really recommend it…In a week day…. you can enjoy the area with local people and not too many tourists.
Enjoy the place.
Hey Bill,
bus 24 is great!
did it yesterday and at the beginning was confusing because the driver didnt know what was the closest stop so we had to see by ourselves.
So it is MÜHLBERG, which is in the middle of the way between the top of parc guell and the bunker.
you can take it near metro Parallel or in Plaça Catalunya in fornt of Corte Ingles.
Alfons X Metro is close as well, but with the bus is the best way to climb there!
Great place to chill. My son and nephew really enjoyed it. Great views. The 24 bus will drop you at the end of the nearest street — closer than any metro stop.
Like +1 !
Maybe metro alfons X is even closer.
Enjoyed a very nice sunset!
