One of the nicest tradition in Spain is the "cine de verano" (summer cinema), consisting in open air projections of movies around the country (mostly in small villages, that get a lost of visitors during the summer) to enjoy under the sky and the stars. And being able to spend a couple of hours open air without getting burned!
These summer nights of cinema are specially charmy and romantic and are normally enjoyed with friends while having a beer or even eating your pic·nic under the stars.
Barcelona has re-invented this lovely tradition and has made it brand-new but without losing the original spirit of watching god cinema under the stars and enjoying the cool air. Barcelona has a climate particulary humid and sticky in summer so the cool air of MontjUic Monuntain is the perfect balm before going to sleep. Maybe that's the reason why The castle on the very top of the mountain has been chosen to play the movies: pleople seat or layon the grass of the pits within walls. And the walls themselves act like a screen. Amazing.
You are strongly recommended to book in advance: that's the best tip to avoid eternal queuin before entering the castle premises.
And a last tip: wear a light jacket or a thin sweater: you will bea on top of a Mountain afert all! :-)
