Parc de l'Estació del Nord review Rate it
Otherwise known as Parc Sol i Ombra (meaning 'Sun and Shadow'), this small but well-used park is perked up by three pieces of landscape art in glazed blue and white ceramic by New York sculptor Beverly Pepper. Along with a pair of incongruous white stone entrance walls, Espiral Arbrat (Tree Spiral) is a spiral bench set under the cool shade of lime flower trees, while Cel Caigut (Fallen Sky) is a 7m (23ft) ridge rising from the grass. The colourful tilework recalls Gaudí's trencadís smashed-tile technique.
