Barcelona Zoo: an animal oasis right in the city centre
"Barcelona Zoo is the last bastion of nature in the heart of the city. It is also a meeting point for people of different ages, visited by countless children whose desire to be explorers is made that little more possible on a visit to the zoo. For roughly 130 years the zoo has brought this living spectacle to life by recreating habitats from all over the world together with their corresponding wildlife."
