Barcelona - Jardins Maragall

Opposite the main entrance to the Palau Nacional lie the impeccably maintained gardens known as the Jardins Maragall (named after the Catalan poet Joan Maragall i Gorina, 1860-1911), in which stands the Palau Albeniz, built in 1929 and with murals by Salvador Dalià. As the palazzo is now used to provide accommodation for state visitors it is not often open to the public.
