parc de la creueta del collThe Parc de la Creueta de Coll is one of the most popular meeting places in Barcelona to hang out outside during the summer as it offers a large lake that is one of the city’s nicest swimming pools and a lot of space to sit down and rest in either the sun or in the shade. The huge square (6000 m2) that is in the center of the park offers a great children’s playground and the terraces above the lake that are surrounded by thick vegetation offer wonderful views over the park and one can watch the world go by.
The park shows how a former quarry can be converted successfully into a green area and its history gives it also a special note.

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.
