Yes, you translated that right - it's the cement train! Bizarre as it may sound, it seems that "back in the day" noted Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (he of the Sagrada Familia and other Barcelonian gems) visited with some cement magnate or other, and thanked him for his hospitality by designing a wee garden up in the mountains near the cement factory. So this became our "cultural" visit for the week, relying on the wee train that still runs up to the factory/museum/garden to pique the interest of the kiddies. And it was a lovely day out, ending as ever with ice cream and beer. The garden is contemporaneous with Park Güell, and indeed shares some of that park's feel, if somewhat smaller and more rustic.
