Parc del Port Olímpic

Parks

Parc del port olimpicThe Parc del Port Olímpic was part of the renovation that took place for the Olympic
Games of 1992. The area was rebuilt and together with four other parks in the area, they
were constructed on the old  industrial land of Poblenou.


The park contains almost 3 hectares of land and has a beautiful green area that advances
towards the sea and gives great sea view to the visitors. It includes rest area with benches, play area for children,
table tennis tables and beautiful vegetation throughout the whole area. In the park
you can find a bronze figure of Cobi, the maskot of the Olympic Games 1992, which was
created by the designer Xavier Mariscal.

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.
