Parc de Can DragoThis park is not just a park, rather it is a huge green and grassy area of more than 12 ha that surrounds the sports facilities of between Avinguda Meridiana and Passeig d'Andreu Nin.
The park functions as a transition area between the two big and busy streets and consists of four different parts with different functions. Two of the areas are housing the sports facilities including the biggest public pool in Barcelona, the other two parts provide green space and places to rest and relax to their visitors.
Overall, this park might not have spectacular art, vegetation and architecture to offer, however, it is a wonderful place for exercising and relaxing with the entire family.

Gaudi Soundbites

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.
