Parc de Josep Maria Serra Marti

Parks

Parc del Josep Maria Serra MartiThis park is a wonderful green space in the middle of the Nou Barris district and has a lot more to offer than just green areas. It is a park, square and promenade and it also houses the wonderful weekly local market for Canyelles (Metro stop Canyelles), the neighbourhood it is located in. The park itself has a variety of great and shady resting places to offer due to its lavish vegetation and this makes it a perfect place for visitors to relax outside surrounded by nature. Also, there is some great art to be admired in the park, especially the Manuel de Falla fountain that has been designed by Pedro Barragan in 1994 and that is a large rectangular platform that rises 20 m high into the air and that offers a spectacular light, water and sound show that make this fountain a magical one that is not to be missed.
Overall, the variety of the Parc de Josep Maria Serra Martí is a wonderful park to visit if you want to get some rest outside or if you are looking for a place to socialize with other people.

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.
