parc de les cascadesThis park that remarks the entrance to Barcelona’s beaches at the Port Olympic is an avenue and a green area at the same time. It enables the visitor to stroll comfortable through the park and enjoy the city and it’s Mediterranean flair.
The park is one part of a series of others that are all connected and linked together and that create a very extensive green area along Barcelona’s coastline.
The Parc de les Cascade has been part of an industrial wasteland recovery project in the early 1990s that took place due to the Olympic Games that were held in the city in 1992 and has been transformed into a nice recreational area that offers a pleasant alternative to the sun and the beaches of Port Olympic.

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.
