There are several nearby attractions, including a display house built by world -famous architecht Mies van der Rohe for a World's Fair, which we couldn't find despite the fact that it's signposted all over the mountain. There's also a silly park recreating all of Spain's attractions in miniature, which we successfully avoided, and a surprisingly boring Miro museum, in an ugly white concrete building. I couldn't keep Somchai here for long because he was desperate to see the facilities from the 1992 Olympics. The main stadium was actually a leftover from a 1929 World's Fair, recycled for the Olympics. There was some random track and field event going on in the stadium, so we sat and watched this for no particular reason other than the impossibility of tearing Somchai away from any sporting event, no matter how insignificant.
