Photos from the Barcelona Botanic Garden and nearby

These are photos from our sixth day of visiting Barcelona when we went to the Montjuïc area, and explored the many gardens there. We spent most of our time at the Barcelona Botanic Garden, which was huge and full of amazing plants, especially the Australia and Canary Island sections, which we explored throughly.

We finished our day at the Miro museum, which was fascinating. There was a great special exhibit of murals, Miro's work starting from a young age, and the statues on the roof that I could photograph.
