Parc de San Sabaté This park is a member of the family of modern construction parks built in between high walls of blocks of flats and provides a wonderful green space to the residents of this neighbourhood through its rich vegetation, including a variety of fruit trees and wide open spaces.
Among modern parks the Can Sabaté probably offers the most interesting variety of plants with tall palm trees and fruit trees as well as many different bushes.
Also, there is a wonderful fountain in shape of a pyramid in a huge and sunny square in the middle of the gardens that is the centrepiece of the park and that contrasts the other shady parts of the area through its wide, bright and open space.
So the Can Sabaté Park offers you both, sunny and busy areas as well as quiet and shady places.

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.
