Barcelona - The Blue Tram

When Barcelona's first generation tramways closed one route was retained as a tourist line and it still operates at weekends throughout the year. http://www.barcelonabusturistic.cat/web/guest/tramviablau



It is a wonderful ride up and down quite a steep hill.
These pictures were taken early in 1994 (I think).
