I travelled on this cable car last week (May 2009) while visiting Barcelona with my husband. it was one of the scariest things I've ever done but so worthwhile for the fantastic views right over the city. it was nerve-wracking facing the trip down again but again the views were worth it. I won't be doing it again!
