This was based on gentrifying the periphery while reclaiming the city center.<\/p>\n<p>The new layout of urban spaces has led to the steady growth of extensive, high-quality public space, including <strong>this park is the perfect example.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc133058830\"><\/a><strong>Enjoy a wide variety of plants<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While Canary date palms and ordinary date palms (Phoenix canariensis and Phoenix dactylifera) dominate the park in terms of numbers, Scots and Aleppo pines and holm oaks are the main species. <strong>a large area of typically Mediterranean vegetation<\/strong>. There are also large eucalyptus trees.<\/p>\n<p>On site, you'll find oleanders next to cypress hedges near the library, and majestic white poplars next to the palm grove. Elms and cedars are among the other species present in this park. Chinese wisteria and bougainvillea stand out brightly on the pergolas. A wide diversity that makes the park <strong>a real botanical spot<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc133058831\"><\/a><strong>Landscaping with a modern, designer touch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The park is organized into several zones. The first, the Biodiversity Gardens, is designed to improve the quality of habitat for flora and fauna. It creates a new environment that encourages the presence of wildlife, thanks to groups of trees with <strong>shelters that attract birds, butterflies and other beneficial species.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The square is next to a 6,000 m\u00b2 expanse of grass that covers an underground parking lot and rainwater reservoir. Along one side, platforms of different sizes link together through paths shaded by climbing plant-covered pergolas that lead to the park's wildest and most extensive area: <strong>wood<\/strong>. First there's a palm grove, then immediately afterwards a pine forest.<\/p>\n<p>As you enter the park, you'll find a library surrounded by water. The public library is <strong>an extraordinary addition to this large urban green space<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc133058832\"><\/a><strong>Some art and architecture<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On one side of the pool, a 22-metre-high sculpture by Joan Miro, entitled Dona i Ocell <strong>dominates this large green space.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Made in trencad\u00eds, it has become one of the park's main landmarks. The sculptor himself donated it to the city.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc133058833\"><\/a><strong>How to get to Parc Joan Miro<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To get there, you can borrow :<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Visit <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/metro-barcelona\/\">metro<\/a> when leaving <strong>Espanya (L1, L3) or Tarragona (L3) stations<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/tourist-bus-barcelona\/\">tourist bus<\/a> to Creu Coberta stop<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc133058834\"><\/a><strong>What are the opening hours?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>You can also visit Joan Miro Park:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>December, January and February: daily <strong>10 a.m. to 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>March and November: daily <strong>10 a.m. to 7 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>April and October: daily <strong>10 a.m. to 8 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>May to September: daily <strong>10 a.m. to 9 p.m.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The magnificent Parc Joan Miro welcomes you all year round.
