Parks / Plazas: Escape the city & find some Green Space
  • Tip Rating:
  • Watch nature show off on a quiet Sunday morning - visit one of Barcelona's many little parks, this one was Turo Park just off Avenue Diagonal. It was unusual for us Northern Europeans to experience parks in February with leafy trees - some flowers & butterflies. The park is quite large and unlike most parks in the U.K. there was even a seperate area reserved for dogs and their owners, where the dogs can run free. The park was surrounded by local housing and seemed very popular with families, the Kids all seemed to be happy walking around with their parents clutching a brightly coloured balloon. Turo Park also has a little cafe selling drinks and snacks, but more importantly, plenty of benches are provided for your relaxation.

     Yes, indeed. Madira island is a good place for walking. I am just back from Barcelona. You have seen so many things in a two-day trip there. Montserrat pleased me very much.

     Excellent page, really a city that has a lot to offer ;-)

     I remember a fantastic aquarium and somebody playing violin near the cathedral. Here I discovered my first parillada of sea food.

     You've captured a lot of this lovely city for so brief a visit, both in your words and images :)
