Parks again have many attractions, with festivals, like primaverasound the biggest festival of the parks, see in the Primavera Sound programming site.
Speaking of Barcelona parks, has many, some more famous, other more hidden and that few people know, so let's talk a little bit of all.
The most famous are:
O Guell park, built by the famous architect Antoni Gaudí, It is located in the city, on top of a mountain, which means that the park has a beautiful view of the city, beyond that view the park has many beautiful buildings, as the hanging garden, the dragon Gaudí, the endless walkways with its columns that resemble palm trees and spring flowers grow again, or also the gardeners plant new park.
O Ciutadella Park, very close to the beach in the Born district (Gothic), It is a delightful park with many people having picnic, some scattered musicians, people walking on the lake boats, this park is our favorite, there is a beautiful fountain, one of the most beautiful in Europe, besides all this, still has the Barcelona Zoo, It is within the park.
O Montjuic Park, which is next to the harbor, on the mountain, also it has a beautiful view of the beaches of Barcelona and the city, this park is made up of several other parks, there are the buildings of the Barcelona Olympic park where the Olympic games were held in 1992, Furthermore it has the Joan Miró Foundation, the Montjuïc Castle in the late spring and summer all , a part of it becomes an outdoor movie theater, and the Catalan History Museum.
