In addition to opening the city to the sea and giving a huge boost to its international reputation, the principal legacy of the Olympic Games in Barcelona was the construction of the rondas (bypasses), which alleviated traffic congestion in the city centre. Ronda de Dalt and Ronda Litoral (mountain and seafront bypasses) were added to the map of Barcelona’s fast routes, mainly comprising Gran Via, Diagonal, Ronda del Mig and Meridiana. In some cases, these roads run through densely populated areas, which gave rise to public movements to demand that some stretches be covered over. These works, where they have proved possible, achieve two goals: the reduction of noise pollution and the creation of new public green spaces for the neighbourhoods.

Our tour of the main works to cover the rondas begins in the district of Nou Barris, just outside Canyelles underground station (L3). Along this stretch, the covering of Ronda de Dalt provided space for a landscaped area with sports facilities, a skateboard park and basketball courts. The project also helped revitalise this area by the Canyelles Market and Parc de Josep Maria Serra i Martí, creating an outstanding pedestrian area amid a polygon of blocks of flats. The centrepiece of the park is its terraced fountain, opposite a sculpture of a Flamenco dancer on a circular stage. The sculpture is called Alegría and is a tribute to María Ángeles Rivas, a leading activist in the neighbourhood residents associations in the fight for better facilities and services in Canyelles. This symbol of flamenco also reflects the large number of immigrants from around Spain living in the neighbourhood. Source: Bcn

The mountain of Tibidabo (512 metres in altitude) is the highest point of the Collserola hills, rising between the passes of Vallvidrera and Serola, and it hosts an amusement park which has recently been recovered by the Barcelona City Council. Everyone in the city remembers its fantastic grottoes, the dizzying experience of the Talaia, the Hall of Mirrors with its grotesque reflections, the excitement of the Aeromàgic, the fascination of the old fair of automatons … sensations which can now be rediscovered by young and old since 15 April, when the park reopened its gates to the public. 

Barcelona has recovered its emblematic amusement park, the first in Spain and the second oldest in Europe. Source: Bcn
