We actually happened upon it on accident as we were walking around and then we came back our last day. Beautiful Park lots of things to see. The fountain is amazing just gorgeous huge fountain lots of birds there. Great place for pictures right beside the fountain or up the stairs to the fountain. Lots of musicians and street performers around the park. I really am a bird fanatic so I was thrilled to see so many wild parakeets in the park. There are people feeding the parakeets bird seeds and you put some in your hand and they'll land in your hand and eat there. I loved it. There are some homeless people and one of them kind of threw a insane fit while we were there but no one was hurt he kicked over a barrier and was yelling at people. But that can happen anywhere just use caution anywhere you go. There is neat statues and there's also a little lake or pond where they had people renting rowboats we didn't do that but that looked like fun.

Super close to Arc de Triomf, so easy to add to your walking route. Great spot to relax and people-watch.

This is one of Antoni Gaudí's most imaginative creations. The colorful mosaics, unique…read morearchitecture, and winding pathways make every corner worth exploring. It's easy to spend a couple of hours wandering around, taking photos, and admiring the creative details that make this place so special. The combination of nature and architecture is very unique. The famous mosaic bench, the Dragon Stairway, and the peaceful garden paths each have their own charm. Booking tickets in advance is a good idea, especially during the busy season, since the Monumental Zone has timed entry and often sells out. Wearing comfortable shoes is also a good idea, as there are quite a few hills and stairs throughout the park.

The park features the beautiful work of Gaudi. Everything was stunning and this was a great way to spend the afternoon. I would recommend expecting to walk the park for 2 hours and to eat before because food is a bit limited within the park.

This is a small but attractive area of wooded natural park (roughly equivalent to an Area of…read moreOutstanding Natural Beauty in the UK) with good fishing and hiking around the area of the reservoir (Pantà in Catalan) of the river Foix. Covering 2,900 hectares, the park is on the edge of the Garraf Massif, just inland of the Sitges-Vilanova stretch of the Costa Daurada coast. Most of the park consists of a mountainous plateau of carboniferous limestone which rises to around 460m (1,500ft), while the edge of the park on the Penedès plain is formed from sedimentary rocks. For such a small area the park contains great biodiversity. The mixture of landscape, lake and coastal and mountain climate sustains Holm-oak and pine forests, extensive myrtle groves, and rough pastures and vineyards on the edge of the park. This provides a home for an extensive fauna of insects, fish, birds and reptiles. The park is criss-crossed by several long distance walking paths. These provide good hiking for those with reasonable stamina and walking experience: a return trip from Sitges or Vilanova to Castellet will involve a walk of around 25-30km (16-20 miles) and climbs of around 750m (2,400ft). Public transport within the park is extremely limited and the rocky paths include some steep climbs, with few places to shelter or find food or water. In summer, the sun is fierce and temperatures can top 35C in the shade, so spring and early autumn are the best times for walking. Historic interest is catered for in the castles of Castellet (10th century) and Penyafort (12th century), as well as several small hamlets with mediaeval shrines and chapels, while the area is also littered with the remains of old farmsteads, caves and seasonal springs. Trains on line 4 of Barcelona's suburban railway system between Vilafranca del Penedès and El Vendrell stop at L'Arboç and Els Monjos, both just outside the south western and northern extremities of the park respectively, otherwise you'll need your own transport to access the park via the BV-2115 or BV-2117 roads, or hike in from the surrounding area on one of the long distance footpaths. The roads are narrow twisty and popular with local motorcyclists.

Parc de la Devesa was a nice park to stroll through during our visit to Girona…read more The park is home to 2,500 Platanus × hispanica trees which were planted mostly around the year 1850. Unfortunately we visited in early March when the leaves had not yet grown back, so the trees and thus the park looked a bit bare. The park is arrayed mostly in a grid-like fashion without many distinctive features. We did find a peacock coop with 4 peacocks in it which was pretty cool. From pictures, the park looks like a lush forest during the time of year that the trees have leaves on them, so that would be an ideal time to visit.

There were a few ladies behind the counter and out of the 3 2 were helpful. Well helpful to my cousin since he spoke Spanish. She even told him they speak some English. Which was cool with me and my daughter. Then I went up cause I wanted to ask a few question. I asked a older lady at the front desk. Which the older lady said "I don't speak English". I guess not all do. So this lady just left me hanging without telling someone else to help me. I really wanted to say hey look lady find someone who speaks English and not F'n just go about your business cause I am part of your business. Really irritating. They have a area for adults or infants. You pass the kids area. They have food and drinks. It's more like a place for the adults to hang and drink and eat. You can bring food but I would ask first. This adult room was extremely hot. It seemed like once you step into that area it's like a sauna. They sure did not have the AC going. I couldn't stand it so I just hung out in the kids area. Which you think it would be the other way around. I assuming the reason why it was hot was cause there was a lot of people and the lights where hella bright. I think they did that way so you can order more drinks. But anyways my girl had fun and that's what matters but you still get minus 2 star for not getting help for me.

Parc de Montjuic is a public park that overlooks the city of Barcelona and the Mediterranean Sea…read more It was an example of town planning and architecture for the 1929 International Exhibition. Today it contains museums, the Olympic Ring from the 1992 Olympic Games, a castle, gardens, a fountain, cable car, and more. A tour guide drove my husband and me to this park. We enjoyed the panoramic views of the city buildings and the sea. Our tour guide explained that a Jewish cemetery was built into the hill.
