As promised, it's May and I'm starting my blogging about Spain, in alphabetical order...of course. Arc de Triomf (Triumphal Arch) built for the 1888 World's Fair Entrance. This photo taken from a distance shows you how wide the promenade is.
The arch was used again in 1929 during the 2nd World's Fair held in Barcelona (Catalonia), as well as The Olympics in later years. It's built to resemble similar arches in Rome by Joseph Vilasecai Casanovas. The expansive promenade is perfect place to walk, run, ride bikes, and stroll with a baby carriage. The sun was warm, bringing everyone out locals and tourists. It covers an 118 hectares (291.58 acres and is within walking distance to Parc de la Ciutudella on Passeig de Lluis.
The details of color, and sculptures is breathtaking. Look how small the people walking nearby look....Please click to enlarge so you can fully appreciate this beautiful site.
