1.- Parque de la Ciudadela: formerly this park was the well-known neighborhood of La Ribera. Today it corresponds to one of the most iconic spots, because it is in the heart of Barcelona and is one of the largest and most beautiful parks in the city. In it you can find spectacular water fountains dating from 1872, a lagoon in the middle with ducklings and huge green areas to lie on the grass and rest.
2.- Park Güell: When you enter this park you will feel like you are in a fairy tale. Full of colors, this spectacular work of Gaudí will make you fall in love. Ideal to visit with children, we invite you to walk through its beautiful corners such as the walkway of palm trees, walking along the three bridges that connect the different areas and visiting its spectacular views from the heights. A different, entertaining and familiar panorama.
3.- Cervantes Park: it is located in the Pedralbes neighborhood and was inaugurated in the last century. It is famous for the variety of roses, about 245. Thanks to the perfect climate of Barcelona these roses are in bloom almost all year round, from April to November. Undoubtedly a spectacle. Every year a competition of new roses is held in this park, which are baptized with different names by their creators.
