A mammoth in Ciutadella park in Barcelona
There is just one city I probably know better than my home town. It is my favorite city. Yes, stunning Gaudí’s Barcelona. At least once a year I have to take cheap Spanish holidays to Barcelona.
Barcelona is full of green parks which is a must for me in a big city. One of them I visit very often, Ciutadella, because it has a wonderful fountain and a lake. But what differentiate it from all the other parks is a statue of a life-size mammoth next to the lake.
At least in my opinion it is a mammoth, even though many people call it an elephant. Call it however you want, everyone stops there to take some pics as I did, too.

Christy, I love it too! And the fountain is one of the best things! I’ve seen it many times and each time have tears in my eyes!

I LOVE Barcelona! It’s been years since we’ve gone, but I still remember the architecture and the city’s vitality so clearly. Did you get a chance to see the fountain show that’s set to music?

With trunks that big, I would think it’s a mammoth too! :)

Hi Alexandra! Wow, that is one humongous elephant! I’ve heard so many good things about Barcelona and over at Ken Kaminesky’s blog, he has produced some really beautiful pictures that I know I won’t be able to rest until I have seen all that beauty for myself.
Thanks for sharing the pics!
