Golden Blooms Frame Sanbangsan Mountain from Early March to Mid‑to‑Late April
At the foot of Sanbangsan Mountain on Jeju Island rests Bomunsa Temple⭐, a serene stop that travelers often include in their journey to the mountain itself and the nearby Sanbanggulsa Grotto, a cave temple tucked into the cliffs.
From the temple grounds, the trail winding up toward the grotto opens into sweeping panoramas of Jeju’s southern sea. Along the way, the landscape unfolds in all directions, with the dramatic cliffs of Yongmeori Coast standing out as a breathtaking highlight.
Bomunsa Temple is home to a magnificent golden statue of Yaksayeorae‑bul, the Medicine Buddha, its brilliance catching the eye as soon as you enter. Surrounding it are other finely crafted statues and exhibits, each adding to the temple’s atmosphere of reverence and beauty.

Along the stone path, a pilgrim carried orchids; inside the cave, a woman stood in quiet reverence before the towering Buddha, filling the chamber with calm.

TL;DR: T‑10 is gone — Barcelona now uses the T‑mobilitat system. The best tourist ticket is the T‑Casual (10 rides, Zone 1), but it does not cover the Airport Metro (L9 Sud) or the Aerobús. If you land at T1, skip buying transit tickets at the airport and take the Aerobús into the city first. Once you reach the city center and drop your bags, buy your T‑Casual from any Metro station vending machine and start using it for all your Barcelona travel. How to Buy and Use Barcelona's NEW Contactless Transport Cards (YouTube link) Barcelona has officially retired the old T‑10 paper ticket . Since 2020, the city has transitioned to T‑mobilitat , a modern contactless system used across the metro, buses, trams, FGC, and RENFE trains. If you’re reading older guides, you’ll still see references to the T‑10 — but as of 2026, the T‑Casual and other T‑mobilitat tickets have fully replaced it. For most visitors, the T‑Casual remains the easiest and most affordable way to get around Barcelona. Th...
