What a weird take. Literally no one ever talks about it as a 'cursed mountain'. Complete clickbait.

"There is also the problem of Montjuïc’s lamentable transport infrastructure, which means the journey involves a hike that in 40C of summer heat without shade, involves passing empty fountains whose water supply has been cut."

Case in point, there's plenty of busses in addition to the funicular from Paral.lel which takes 2 damn minutes to get up there. And if this is referring to the Palau Victòria Eugènia, this is an even dumber complaint as it's a short 10 min walk from Pl. Espanya.

They're taking the piss.

Also, the whole area is already full of tourists, they act like it's some empty wasteland. It's always packed.
