A Night at The Movies

If your looking for something different to do one night in Barcelona on a limited budget then why not head to Montjuic castle to watch a film at the Outdoor Cinema. It sounds a bit crazy, right? But really though, from the 2nd of July this summer until the 3rd of August you can sit in the gardens at Montjuic and see a selection of films from all over the world. The majority of films are old classics and you won't see any of the current blockbusters in Yelmo Icaria for example, however they do have a few very recent ones showing, like Million Dollar Baby (2004). Due to its increasing popularity, now Montjuic has increased the amount of screenings from 2 to 3, so now you can view a film 3 times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. The park opens at 8.30 so if you want to go for a picnic or Botellon before the screening at 22.00 or 22.15, then you can. It's a great way to spend a relaxing night whether it's with a group of friends, alone, or maybe even a great idea for going on a date. ;)
Also, it won't ruin your bank balance as it only costs 4 euros for a ticket and you can purchase your ticket on the night from 8.30, or probably more advisable, you can buy them from a Caixa in advanced. The capacity of the cinema is 2500 and it is becoming more and more well-known so maybe it's a good idea to book in advance, especially if you know there is a popular film showing.
The final screening will be the 3rd August and you can vote online as to what film you want to see from a choice of Madeinusa, Una Historia Verdadera and Oldboy.
So, if you have a night with nothing planned and fancy something a bit different then why not watch the onscreen stars under the real stars! Give it a try!
