The 10 Best Nature & Parks in Ciutadella / Vila Olimpica, Catalonia
Barcelona feels a bit surreal – appropriate, since Salvador Dali spent time here and Spanish Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí designed several of the city’s buildings. Stepping into Gaudí’s Church of the Sacred Family is a bit like falling through the looking glass - a journey that you can continue with a visit to Park Güell. Sip sangria at a sidewalk café in Las Ramblas while watching flamboyant street performers, then create your own moveable feast by floating from tapas bar to tapas bar.

One of the larger parks in central Barcelona, Parc de la Ciutadella has alot to offer, being near the Zoo (which requires a ticket purchase), as well as some other historic landmarks like the Castle of the Three Dragons. However, even if you arent the photo-taking type, this park has alot of sitting areas (benches or grass patches) where you can escape the crowds in other parts of Barcelona. There are also many locals who use the space for exercise or practising their hobbies so you almost feel like you are immersing with everyday life here. Spent a good few hours here just wandering around and lazing with friends in a very people-friendly green space!

This is a lovely little park in Barcelona, quieter and not as crowded as other parks and seems to be used more by locals rather than tourists. We spent a couple of hours here enjoying the calm, kids got to play a bit of football on the green spaces and there is also a kiosk selling ice cream, drinks, etc. Toilets can be found in the nearby bus station. A lovely way to spend some time if you are in the area.

great zoo with lots and lots of different animals in decent sized enclosures Elephants wolves hippos rhinos tigers jaguars gazelle zebras monkeys chimps gorillas seals penguins bears some fantastic reptiles including komodo dragons snakes and alligators. The bug house was closed but The aviary was open. The aquarium was disappointing and there are no longer any dolphin shows (something to do with a law about animal shows) however we went to the big aquarium in the harbour so it was ok. At the time it seemed tgey were doing work on the elephant enclosure, making it bigger perhaps? Lots of toilets around and a few cafes more will be open in the summer though I guess. Was about 20 euros each to get in. Nice few hours spent☺
