The Barcelona Cactus Garden - Jardins de Mossèn Costa i Llobera

Check out http://lophophora.blogspot.com/2009/05/barcelona-cactus-garden-jardins-de.html for more details on The Barcelona Cactus Garden, Jardins de Mossèn Costa i Llobera. The gardens are beautifully located on the steep slopes of Mount Montjuïc, facing the Mediterranean Sea and overlooked by the Montjuïc Castle. Its hard to beat a location like that - the only drawback is the busy road at the foot of the hill and the accompanying traffic noise.

The video shows a panoramic view of the central cactus bed with a group of massive Echinocactus grusonii (Golden Barrel Cactus) in the foreground - I have seen these described elsewhere as "clusters of round cactus that resemble a colony of alien eggs just about to hatch" ;-)
