A Touch of Gaudí

La Cascada

Barcelona, a vibrant city with a wealth of attractions, is a fantastic destination for families. One of the city’s most popular parks, Ciutadella Park, offers a serene escape from the urban hustle and bustle.

This sprawling green oasis is home to a picturesque lake, a stunning fountain, museums, and even a zoo. Whether you prefer a leisurely stroll, a boat ride on the lake, or a picnic with the family, Ciutadella Park has something for everyone.

One of the park’s most iconic features is the Cascada, a magnificent waterfall and fountain built for the 1888 Universal Exhibition. Designed by Josep Fontsère and featuring contributions from a young, up-and-coming architect named Antoni Gaudí, the Cascada is a stunning example of 19th-century architecture and design. Gaudí’s signature style is evident in the winged dragons that guard the water basin.

So, the next time you’re planning a family vacation to Barcelona, be sure to add Ciutadella Park to your itinerary. It’s the perfect place to relax, play, and create lasting memories.
