Parc del Migdia

The grim military barracks that once occupied a privileged spot in Girona, within the rectangle formed by the streets of Barcelona Oriol Martorell, Migdia and Pau Vila, are, fortunately, long gone. In their wake they left an enormous space that in part has fallen victim to property speculation; however the area that's not been covered by buildings has been transformed into a marvellous park that's ideal for children. Kids can skate, play Frisbee, watch the mallards in the artifical pond looking well-satisfied with all the bread that people feed them, or enjoy the two fenced-in children's parks installed on each side of the park, while you enjoy a vermouth in the nearby bar. At the weekend, if the weather's good, you may be able to enjoy spontaneous concerts, storytelling, puppet shows and various festivals.
