The publication Time Out Barcelona has highlighted the program for Viu Montjuïc, taking place on the weekend of October 3rd and 4th, with a special focus on activities held in Barcelona's cemeteries.

The article emphasizes the opportunity to discover cemeteries as spaces of art, history, heritage, and culture, extending beyond their traditional funerary function. Cementiris de Barcelona is offering various activities for this initiative.
Among the proposed activities are the Funeral Botany Route, tours of the Collection of Funeral Carriages, the Route to Fossar de la Pedrera, sketching sessions on Montjuïc mountain, and the performance El dol és aquella cosa amb ales (Grief is that Thing with Wings).
This initiative provides a new opportunity to showcase the cultural offerings of cemeteries and invite the public to rediscover these spaces from fresh perspectives.
