Pl. de Joan Peiró,
Sants Estació

One of Barcelona's newer public parks, Parc de l'Espanya Industrial occupies the site of a former textile factory. It includes a boating lake, a stepped terrace and several public sculptures.

Scale up the spiky reptile, and hear the harsh metallic clanking underfoot with each passing prong. Remember this dragon does not eat you, its head is full of sprightly joy, here for fun and games.

Peer through the cracks of a beady and vigilant eye, and then be spewed from it's huge jaw on the slippery slide of its tongue. What's hard and fearsome on the outside, inspires childlike pleasures within.

'Drac' is Andrés Nagel's climbable, 12 metre high, dragon sculpture, located on the north-eastern corner of the park.
