gardens of the princep de gironaThese Gardens have been built on the grounds of the former Girona cavalry barracks which appears incredible when considering what the park has turned into since then.
There are many different opportunities offered so that it is easy to spend an entire day relaxing in the Gardens. First of all the nice lake with various interconnected small islands is worth visiting but there are many other areas such as children’s playgrounds, a  dog run, ping-pong tables and a bar with tables under the shade of the pine trees.
All of these areas invite to rest, relax, play or eat and families can enjoy some good quality time here together.

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.
