Parque de la Ciutadella, in Barcelona

During the weekends families, students, couples and seniors seem to meet in the Parque de la Ciutadella in order to celebrate life. As soon as the sun comes out and it is getting warm, you can see fathers playing football with their sons, little girls running over the playground and old men playing Petanca.

CBarcelona Parksouples are lying in the grass, students sitting under the streets, presumably studying, and others juggle with pins and balls accompanied by musicians playing their instruments and singing their songs.

In a different place young people learn dancing salsa and right next to them some women gather together exchanging cooking recipes. You can also take a rowing boat enjoying the sun on the water or sit down and have a coffee watching over the events.

If you need a relaxing place in Barcelona where you can be just yourself, the Parque de la Ciutadella is the right spot for you.
