The Garcia Faria Linear Park is a very special and unique green area that connects two different parks -the Poublenou Park and the Park Diagonal Mar. It is more than 1 km long and is perfect for biking. Long and colorful flowerbeds are aligned along the bike trails and that separate bikes from pedestrians. Another highlight of the park is the perfect location close to the beach that enables a quick access to the beautiful sea and from many spots in the park visitors can enjoy fantastic views over the beach area. Only having been established in 2004 the park is still very young yet has lots to offer. Visitors can use the area for exercising, relaxing, sunbathing, playing with children, etc.
There are many opportunities available and anybody can find something to do in this park.

Gaudí's dead

Not much people know how Gaudí died. From what it known he was hit by a tram in front of Sagrada Familia when he crossed the street aiming to go to the construction side of his masterpiece.

He lay in the hospital "Hospital de la Santa Creu", but people didn't recognise the famous artist because of his neglected appereance.

Only three days later, a friend of him found him in this hospital and asked for a private room for him. The same day, 10 July 1926 he died. 

He was buried in the midst of La Sagrada Família.
