Port Olimpic
The most important rebuilding for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona
was the demolition of the old industrial waterfront. Four kilometers of
promenade and sandy beaches were made. Barcelona suddenly seemed like a
seaside resort. The city council built 2 000 apartments with parks and called
the area Nova Icaria. This area is still known as Vila Olimpica because the
Olympic athletes originally stayed there.
On the seafront there are two forty-four-floor buildings, Spain's tallest
skyscrapers. One of these towers is an office block, the other is the modern
and luxurious Arts Hotel. The towers stand by the Olympic port which was
also constructed for the 1992 games.
This area has shops and nightclubs, but the main reason for visiting is
the two levels of restaurants around the marina, which make it a popular place
to eat out. The wonderful outdoor setting attracts business people at breakfast
and lunchtime, as well as locals and tourists in the evenings and at weekends.
After lunch you can walk along the beach or sit in one of the stylish
promenade cafés.
Parc de la Ciutadella
The Parc de la Ciutadella has a large boating lake, orange groves and
palm trees full of parrots. The park was originally the site of a fortress which
Prosper Verboom built for Felipe V between 1715 and 1720. In 1878, most of
the fortress that occupied the site was pulled down and the park was given to
the city to become the venue for the Universal Exhibition in 1888.
The architect, Josep Fontsere, designed the cascade in the park with the
help of Antoni Gaudi who was then still a young student.
Parc Zoologic
You can visit Barcelona's zoo in the city park. The zoo didn't open until
the 1940s. The zoo had a special design in which small pools of water
separated the animals.
The only known example of an albino gorilla - Snowflake - arrived at
Barcelona zoo in 1966 when he was three years old. Snowflake soon became
the zoo's mascot and fathered twenty baby gorillas.
Nowadays, you can also see dolphin and whale shows in one of the
aquariums at the zoo.
