Teniendo en cuentasobre las colinas y las montañas, creo que hay una gran diferencia entre España y Japón.
Japan is also a mountain country,so we can see small hills or mountains in our daily lifes. But we do not have a mountain like Montjuïc. Mountains and the hills in Japan are more steep. And we usually do not build the buildings on the mountains. Because we have traditional ideas that there are the spirits of the death and the god was believed to dwell in the mountains. So people used to fear the mountains and always recognized it as a spiritual place. For these reasons. only the buildings we can usually see in the mountains are the temples and the shrines. Here, I think there is a big difference between Montjuïc and the mountains in Tokyo. I think Montjuïc is recognizedas one public space having historical elements, museums, places which once usedto be opened to the peolple from all over the world (the olympicgame stadiums) and so on. Even it has a sad serious history, Montjuïc seems to be accepting the new mordern things.
