2013 西班牙葡萄牙自駕之旅 遊後感

開頭去呢個西班牙葡萄牙旅遊都有D驚,因為話治安唔好,不過最後我哋都無事發生。不過西班牙嘅住宿費都幾貴,可能係我哋住Apartment嘅關係呱,不過我睇過D酒店都唔係平得好多。泊車又係一個貴嘅地方,呢個係我呢一刻去咁多個國家最貴嘅一個,交通費其實都唔平得去邊。食方面,我哋食咗好多餐Buffet,價錢又幾好喎,因為食一個 Tapas都成兩三歐一個,食個Buffet 到係十歐到,所以唔係太貴~~至於景點呢,好多都係教堂、廣場同皇宮,睇得多都有D悶,我哋都係鍾意睇風景多D。重有就係基本上全部嘅景點都係要俾入場費嘅,尤其係巴塞隆納高第嘅景點,如果全部高第嘅都要入嘅話,要成差不多成兩千幾港幣埋單。
最後,就係揸車嘅嘢,呢兩個國家D路都幾好揸,同埋西班牙就無Speed Check嘅,反而葡萄牙就有喎。西班牙好多地方都有錶位,不過係D大城市好似馬德里同巴塞隆納到就會有D係專俾當地居民用(綠色泊車位),任何人都可以用(藍色泊車位)。重有就係除咗係D大城市唔鼓勵泊車係景點到之後(因為應該好貴),其他嘅城市係景點附近都會有停車場。
至於路費方面我就唔係好知,不過應該都唔平,如果唔係我都行咗啦,不過如果時間唔多嘅,就行收費道路會快D,特別係係葡萄牙。但係要注意,葡萄牙有部份收費路段係用電子收費,俾錢方法都幾麻煩,就係因為咁我都無用,因為唔知邊一段路會有電子收費系統~~入油就無問題啦,周圍都係油站。

重有一個要注意嘅就係佢哋嘅休息時間,佢哋基本上每日嘅1400-1700都會休息,星期六可能得半日,星期日重要全日休息。如果有嘢買或者有食店要去食嘢的話,就check清楚佢哋個營業時間啦~~

2013 西班牙葡萄牙自駕之旅 Day 16 & 17 Barcelona, Doha, Hong Kong 歡樂嘅時光過得特別快,又係時間講拜拜~~~Montjuïc 蒙特惠奇山

10/11/2013 Day 16

行走里數 : 27km

Montjuïc 蒙特惠奇山
Montjuïc Castle蒙特惠奇城


今日就要返香港啦,我哋今日其實就無咩特別行程,主要係如果有D 地方無去,今日就會去埋。要去嘅地方好多都去咗,不過我哋都加咗個景點,係去機場之前去嘅就係巴塞隆納嘅Montjuïc 蒙特惠奇山到睇風景。今朝個早餐非常豐富,就係將所有用淨嘅食材放晒落去煮,好似有蛋、洋蔥、炸菜(我哋帶咗兩包炸菜來旅行)、腸仔加落個福面到,非常豐富。





食完早餐,我哋就係住宿到Hae下,到大概11點到我哋 Checkout,然後就出發去呢個Montjuïc 蒙特惠奇山,今朝 Search 過個到應該係有得免費泊車,我哋一路駛去呢個山嘅方向,行行下條路封咗。見到好似有跑步比賽,所以封路。之後我就亂行,最後都上到個山到。如果唔係揸車來,可以搭纜車上來到得,見到好似係 EUR$9.5有來回票。

蒙特惠奇山加泰羅尼亞語Montjuïc西班牙語Montjuic)是西班牙巴塞隆納市中心西南部的一座山丘,俯瞰著港口,山勢平緩,但是東側臨海處則幾乎是峭壁。山頂高173米,有主要興建於17世紀的蒙特惠奇城堡。其名稱來自中世紀加泰隆尼亞文,原義是「猶太山」;也有一說是來自拉丁文「Mons Jovicus」,意思是「朱庇特之丘」。

國家宮

魔法噴泉
1842年,忠於馬德里政府的駐軍從此炮擊城市。它充當監獄,常常關押政治犯,直到佛朗哥時期。該城堡也是許多人被處決的地點。在西班牙內戰的不同時期,國民黨和共和黨人都曾被在那裡被對手處死。加泰羅尼亞民族主義領導人約韋爾被納粹引渡給佛朗哥政府,1940年在此處決。
蒙特惠奇的山坡原本是樹林、耕地和牧場,1890年代,清除了部分森林。該地點被選為主辦1929年巴塞隆納世界博覽會,蒙特惠奇山開始大規模建設。建成了巨大的國家宮(Palau Nacional)、奧林匹克體育場、華麗的魔法噴泉(Font Màgica)。表現西班牙不同的建築風格的西班牙村(Poble Espanyol)位於西側。
莫祖錫奧林匹克體育場(Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys)完成於1929年,為了主辦1936年反法西斯奧運會,以反對1936年柏林奧運會。這計劃由於西班牙內戰爆發被取消。2008年以前,是皇家西班牙人體育俱樂部主場。
面向市區一側的坡道曾經是蒙特惠奇一級方程式賽道,舉辦過4次西班牙大獎賽。然而,在1975年西班牙大獎賽中,發生羅爾夫施托梅倫衝上看台,造成4人死亡的事故以後,西班牙大獎賽再也沒有回到蒙特惠奇。
蒙特惠奇被選為1992年夏季奧林匹克運動會的舉辦地,圍繞奧林匹克體育場為中心的場地廣泛翻新,並更名為莫祖錫奧林匹克體育場,在6.5萬個座位的體育場舉行了開幕式和閉幕式,並舉辦了體育賽事。
到山頂可使用蒙特惠奇纜車(屬於巴塞隆納地鐵的一部分),然後乘吊艙升降機。
















































係呢個蒙特惠奇山上面,重有個Montjuïc Castle蒙特惠奇城可以參觀,重要係免費嘅,我哋去到個時都有好多人係到。

Montjuïc Castle (CatalanCastell de MontjuïcSpanishCastillo de Montjuïc) is an old military fortress, with roots dating back from 1640, currently serving as a Barcelona municipal facility, built on top ofMontjuïc hill in BarcelonaCataloniaSpain.

History[edit]

The foundation stone for the basic fortification was laid out in 1640. A year later, in January 1641, the fort saw its first battle, during the Catalan Revolt when the Principality of Catalonia challenged Spain's authority. On orders from the King of Spain, Pedro Fajardo, heading an army of 26,000 men, proceeded to crush the revolt. The Spanish recaptured several cities, but they were defeated at the Battle of Montjuïcby the Catalan rebels, led by Francesc de Tamarit.
Fifty years later, in 1694, new bastions and battlements were erected and the fortress became a castle.
The old fort was however demolished in 1751 by the Spanish engineer & architect Juan Martin Cermeño, creating the current structure, still standing. The final shape of the castle took form during 1779 and 1799, when major construction works took place in order to improve the castle and accommodate the needs. It was also during this time that the castle was equipped with 120 cannons.
During the Napoleonic Wars, the French Army entered Barcelona, and, on orders from Napoleon, they also captured the castle without firing a shot as the troops guarding the castle were ordered not to fight the French.
During the 20th century, the castle became a military museum. In June 1963, Francisco Franco inaugurated the Military Armor Museum, the official name given to the institution.

Current Status[edit]

In April 2007, the government transferred the castle to Barcelona City Council. Following discussions over the next months, the castle became a municipal facility. Subsequently, in 2010 the museum was closed and the City Council started a project of restoration and waterproofing of the roof and a watchtower.
The current plans for the castle include L’Espai de la Memòria, El Centre d’Interpretació de la Muntanya de Montjuïc, and cultural activities.
The castle can be accessed by the Montjuïc cable car, a gondola lift that has its upper station near the castle entrance and connects, via the Montjuïc funicular, with the Barcelona Metro at Paral·lel station.


睇返資料,原來呢個城堡入面都重有好多嘢睇個喎,不過個日其實我哋行到入去個城堡個時都無咩時間睇,因為要預返D時間去機場還車、入油同埋攪退稅。




























之前都無諗過會買嘢買到可以退稅,所以無咩搵到關於呢方面嘅資料。咁就上網Search下,都有唔少人係西班牙有退稅經驗,過程都幾麻煩,又要到海關印,之後在去退稅嘅銀行機場Counter到辦理手續。最重要係海關同銀行係係兩個唔同嘅樓屠,網上面講有時要攪成個鐘先攪掂,所以我哋就要預多D時間喇。
入油呢方面應該唔係問題,因為一路都有油站,係見到有油站我就入去入咗油先,因為係自己入,我就入到滿咗再攞支油槍出來再入多D,入到差不多去到個油蓋到,因為重要揸一段路程先到機場,費時麻煩就入多D啦,不過照我揸咗呢架車咁多日嘅觀察,佢應該最少行半個鐘或以上支油針先會郁。好啦,入完油就向機場出發喇,我哋要去返Terminal 1到還車同離境,係駛到T1個時好快就會見到有路牌寫住”Car Rental Return”呢個指示,跟住行就無問題。我哋都係去返攞車個個位置到,佢哋有寫住邊D位係還車嘅車泊嘅。泊好咗,就攞返份租車文件入去,之後就有職員出來Check下行咗幾多公里同埋係咪滿油。佢哋連車身都無睇就話OK,重問我滿唔滿意佢哋嘅服務添喎,當然滿意啦,咁快就攪掂,我哋又有驚無險咁完成咗呢個西班牙葡萄牙自駕之旅啦~~

之後就去攪退稅嘅嘢先,我哋首先去機場個Information Counter到問下邊到攪退稅,佢就會問你想給印停係攞錢,給印就係離境大堂左手面行到尾嘅左上角就會見到,攞錢就係出境大堂租車公司對面個到。咁我哋就去海關給印先,都幾容易搵,去到門口會有個人Check下你D文件齊唔齊,之後就入去給印,有兩個人,一個係到玩手機另一個係到Check緊一個退稅文件。我企係個玩手機個職員前面,佢講咗一句唔知咩嘢,可能係叫我等等,但係又可能係叫我去隔離個Counter到排隊等下,不過我企企下佢就幫我給印,咩到無Check就問我: Only One..我答: Yes…唔通D人會買好多嘢嘅~~~有人話有時佢哋會Check下你買咗要退稅嘅嘢,所以我都有帶埋來,不過佢又無問要睇。給完印就去退現金,要落返去離境個層,無咩人,好快就可以辦退錢手續,不過係Counter入面個人目無表情,口黑面黑咁。之前我哋見到買完嘢張退稅文件寫住退EUR$19.5,不過最後退俾我哋嘅就只得EUR$17.7,我又唔記憶睇佢整完之後個張單退幾錢,不過可能實際係退得咁多呱~~
之後就將D嘢放返入?到,然後寄行李。嘩~~件行李成33kg重,佢哋都照收,真係勁~~然後就離境喇,正式結束呢個西班牙葡萄牙自駕之旅啦。我哋班機就係1510,我哋大概1400去到候機室到,其實我哋係未食Lunch嘅,不過我哋重有兩個誠實豆沙包係到,所以就當係午餐喇。
之後搭飛機又發生事件,座係我後面嘅外國人唔知攪咩鬼,人哋想?覺當然係將將座椅向後?低架啦,佢話咁樣令到佢唔舒服喎,要求我像將將座椅整返直。之後唔鬼理佢,佢就耐唔耐撞將座椅,好似係想整到你?唔到,於是就問佢想點,佢都係話佢感到唔舒服喎,之後都費時同佢講,叫空姐同佢講。咁空姐就話就快派嘢食,順便叫我升高返個座椅,食完之後就可以降返低。食完嘢,我當然係降低將座椅喇,個條友仔又係不停咁撞將座椅,我就睬佢都傻~~繼續?低將座椅~~

之後,去到多哈,大概等一個鐘到就上機,快~~~我哋大概兩點半到返到香港,俾原來時間遲咗十幾分鐘。一落機就見到有衛生署、海關嘅人企晒係到,衛生署嘅人係到Check下呢批人有無人有發燒徵狀,因為家下中東地區有沙士個案出現,海關就唔知佢哋Check咩啦,唔通有人運毒。之後等行李又要等好耐,開頭機場廣播話D行李運輸有問題要延誤,後來有人問機場職員,佢答話海關要一件一件行李咁Check所以就會出得好慢,最後都要等成個鐘先攞到行李歸家~~~多謝大家收睇,其實我諗應該無咩人睇
