Parks & Nature
This is the biggest park of Barcelona and is very popular among the citizens. It was built in 1888 and houses a monumental waterfall, a pond and a romantic English-style garden. It´s our favorite park to spend some hours after work to relax. In weekends it can be quite busy, but during the week it´s the perfect spot to chill out with some friends. The zoo is also located in Parc de la Ciutadella which is worth a visit, especially with the whole family. There are almost 7.500 animals which represent 400 different species.

Basilica Santa Maria Del Mar
The first mention of the Santa Maria del Mar was in 998, yet as you can see when you visit the basilica, the cornerstone was laid in 1329. The style is a perfect example of 14th century Catalan Gothic and the temple is seen as an icon for Catalan Gothic. It´s situated in the middle of the little, cozy streets of El Born, la Ribera area. Especially the inside is really impressive, imagine it took about 5000 persons to build this temple.
