Sala Montjuïc Cinema Programme:
Each year a large cinema screen is erected in the moat of Barcelona's Montjuïc castle. On Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights films are screened in this picturesque setting overlooking the city. Fortunately, the films are screened in their original languages with subtitles - a large percentage of the films are shown are in English. The cinema programme changes each year and there is always speculation as to what films will be shown. Other year's line-ups have included 'No Country for Old Men', 'Wall.E' and 'Volver'.
For more information on the festival programme, ticket purchase, prices and how to get there check the Official Sala Montjuïc Website.
It is worth buying tickets in advance or arriving early for screenings as tickets sell out fast.
