Parc de la Creueta del Coll

Created from a quarry in 1987 by Josep Martorell and David Mackay, the team that went on to design the Vila Olímpica, this park boasts a large swimming pool complete with a 'desert island' and a sculpture by Eduardo Chillida: a 50-ton lump of curly granite suspended on cables, called 'In Praise of Water'. The long hike up to the park will be worth it once you see everything it has to offer.
