Jardin de les Tres Xemeneies, or garden of three chimneys, is, as described by many online: the most urban of urban parks in Barcelona. After all, it’s also commonly referred to as Graffiti Park Barcelona.
Named after the three chimneys still present from the old La Canadenca power plant, Jardin de les Tres Xemeneies is less known as a nice spot to sit under a shady tree and far more popular for visitors who enjoy its dense coverage of graffiti and the sprawling concrete slabs that make the park perfect for skaters.

I don’t know who this belongs to, but I do love a cheeky night owl.
Once you’re here, there are no directions needed. The space is pretty open, and there are plenty of sweet pieces spread around to find. Don’t be shy to get amongst the skaters and check out the pieces up and behind the slope. You’ll probably also find Barcelona graffiti artists flexing their skills in real-time, as it’s quite an active area for practising artists to come and regularly re-spray.
