Full description

Parc de l'Espanya Industrial occupies the site of the Espanya Industrial cotton factory, once a symbol of Catalonia's industrial revolution, and today mixes an artificial lake with striking red watchtowers and a dragon-shaped children's slide designed by sculptor Andrés Nagel. Its location right by Sants train station makes it an easy, unexpected stop for travelers passing through, and reviewers often note the surprise of finding such a calm, sunlit green space so close to the transit hub.

A 4.1 rating across more than 9,000 reviews reflects a solid, if unspectacular, city park experience.
