And what better place to start than what is said to be one of the points that germinated the neighbourhood. Hidden behind a lush layer of tall trees, the Can Fargues farmhouse stands the test of time next to Passeig Maragall. Of medieval origin, the complex is surrounded by gardens which, after more than a decade of community campaigning, were opened to the neighbourhood a few years ago, with the farmhouse rescued from neglect and converted into a municipal music school. The modernist ensemble of the fountain, the kiosk, and an old water bottling room—which now houses one of the city's most curious and unexpected public toilets—overlook Barcelona as the sun decides to set, at the same time as the families and readers, short of light, descend from the mountain to, sadly, return to the asphalt.

What remains of Pasqual Maragall's legacy in Barcelona?") The sun is already beginning to bid farewell to the day. Several families are enjoying the last moments of full August daylight, while a couple of solitary readers devour words absorbedly from their respective tables. In the distance, a man tends his vegetable garden. A woman gives him instructions from her terrace, in a neighbourhood with uneven terrain where some people's ground floors are elevated flats for their neighbours.

We always provide a fixed quote before starting. No one else is walking these steep streets that connect Can Fargues to Font d’en Fargues at this hour, revealing a panoramic view of the city towards Collserola. It was the fountain that gave its name to the neighbourhood, not the other way around: the Can Fargues farmhouse was previously known as Mas Pujol, or even Mas Margarita. Either way, both places bearing the neighbourhood's name and rescued from neglect are connected from chalet to chalet and from facility to facility. A school, a community centre, a nursery. And that seems to be the end of everything: the nursery, poetically on Carrer del Descans (Rest Street), meets the mountain. But beyond, a murmur of relaxed conversations, children, and the occasional dog can be heard. You have to keep climbing. A small ramp that seems to lead to nowhere climbs even higher towards the Guinardó park (or forest). Suddenly, the modernist kiosk emerges**, colourful, vibrant, surrounded by tables, the fountain and its grotto, and a children's playground overlooking Barcelona from the heights.
