Read the text below and answer the questions on the next page.

Port Olimpic
The most important rebuilding for the 1992 Olympics in
Barcelona was the demolition of the old industrial waterfront.
Four kilometers of promenade and sandy beaches were made.
Barcelona suddenly seemed like a seaside resort. The city
council built 2 000 apartments with parks and called the area
Nova Icaria. This area is still known as Vila Olimpica because
the Olympic athletes originally stayed there.
On the seafront there are two forty-four-floor buildings,
Spain's tallest skyscrapers. One of these towers is an office
block, the other is the modern and luxurious Arts Hotel. The
towers stand by the Olympic port which was also constructed

for the 1992 games.
This area has shops and nightclubs, but the main reason
for visiting is the two levels of restaurants around the marina,
which make it a popular place to eat out. The wonderful
outdoor setting attracts business people at breakfast and
lunchtime, as well as locals and tourists in the evenings and
at weekends. After lunch you can walk along the beach or sit
in one of the stylish promenade cafés.
Parc de la Ciutadella
The Parc de la Ciutadella has a large boating lake,
orange groves and palm trees full of parrots. The park was
originally the site of a fortress which Prosper Verboom built for

Felipe V between 1715 and 1720. In 1878, most of the
fortress that occupied the site was pulled down and the park
was given to the city to become the venue for the Universal
Exhibition in 1888.
The architect, Josep Fontsere, designed the cascade in
the park with the help of Antoni Gaudi who was then still a
young student.
Parc Zoologic
You can visit Barcelona's zoo in the city park. The zoo
didn't open until the 1940s. The zoo had a special design in
which small pools of water separated the animals.
The only known example of an albino gorilla - Snowflake

- arrived at Barcelona zoo in 1966 when he was three years
old. Snowflake soon became the zoo's mascot and fathered


Nowadays, you can also see dolphin and whale shows in
one of the aquariums at the zoo.
