Parks

parc mirador de poble secParc del Mirador del Poble Sec is located in the Sants-Montjuic district of Barcelona.
It is around 3 heactares and is a part of the side of the Montjuic mountain. It has
a appearance like a forest park and in the same time as an urban park.

The park was built in two phases, in the first part a rural forest landscape was
constructed where Mediterranean vegetation was planted around the area.
Being located high up, it gives you the possibility to see all the way to Passeig de Colon
and the port of Barcelona. Meanwhile, you can also just enjoy the beautiful
waterfall descending from the highest point of the park. The second phase included the
buildling of a wide staircase that leads from the bottom of the park.

Address

Passeig de Montjuic 28

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.
