Parc de L'Espanya IndustrialThe Parc de l'Espanya Industrial is situated close to Estatió Sants-station in Barcelona. It has been built up in 1985 by the architects Luís Peña Ganchegui and Francesc Rius. At the same place has been an industrial area before but today the park does not remind of this. It has many green areas and an artificial little lake. Famous is this park for its nice lighthouses around the lake. Even if the opinion of habitants around this park is divided in admiration and distaste, both of them are often sitting in this park as it is the only green area in this district.
Anyway, this park is a nice alternative if you are are waiting for a train in Estació Sants.

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.
