Do you want to get lost?? Get in the ‘Labyrinth Park’!
SoniaHello Guys!!! Do you want to get lost in a beautiful maze? If the answer is yes,
I have the best place for you!!! It is called ‘Jardines del Laberinto’ (Labyrinth’s Gardens), it’s an amazing park open to the public where it used to be the gardens of a mansion of one of the most influential and rich persons of Barcelona, a marquis called ‘Antonio Desvall’. The gardens now belong to Barcelona’s council, they refurbished it and open it to the public. The park is one of the oldest in the city of Barcelona as is dated from 18th Century.
The garden has three levels. On the first level there is a pond that collects the water to irrigate the gardens. The middle one has some very nice Toscana´s columns and in the third level you will find the magic maze formed with cypress trees, where you will enter and maybe get lost!? You will see it is so much fun, turn right… turn left… and I bet you will have to take your steps back.
The garden is full of beautiful sculptures like ‘Narciso’. The legend says he saw his reflection in the water and he felt in love with himself and trying to reach his own reflection he felt in the water and was kept forever on those waters. There are as well some nice waterfalls, these are not natural but still very nice 
. There is also a huge artificial lake with hundreds of beautiful fish, ducks, some bridges and places to sit, relax and enjoy the sun.
The park is situated in Horta, you can get there by tube/metro, stop at ‘Mundet’ line 3-green line. There are different buses to get there too: 27-60-73-76-85.
To enter the park you will have to pay a small fee of only 2 euros. This fee is used for the maintenance of the park. You will receive a small leaflet with some information about the park.
So….. do you want to get lost????
