The unveiling of the “Barcelona” letters, designed by the MIAS Arquitectes studio, marks the beginning of an anniversary year at Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo that will be packed with activities for all audiences
The Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo kicked off a very special season on Saturday, marking its 125th anniversary. The ceremony was led by the mayor of Barcelona, Jaume Collboni, and the first deputy mayor and chair of BSM, Laia Bonet, with the participation of the director general of BSM, Marta Labata, the director of the Parc d’Atraccions Tibidabo, Rosa Ortiz, and several representatives from the city’s social and economic network, plus members of the TibiClub.
During the ceremony, the letters “Barcelona” were unveiled at the viewing area. These letters were created by the MIAS Arquitectes studio, headed by Josep Miàs, and make the views of the city from this spot even more memorable. The piece is made up of nine illuminated steel letters and encourages visitor interaction through bench-like structures.
The park also presented one of its new features for the season this morning: Colors, la pel·lícula de les Mascotes, which can be seen in 4D at the park’s Dididado cinema as from today. The 12-minute film, which is suitable for audiences of all ages, tells the adventures of the park’s Mascots –Ti, Bi, Da and Bo– on their mission to bring back Barcelona’s colours. The film is a Grup Transversal and Tigrelab production.
New season to thrill young and old
This will be a year of surprises on Barcelona’s most magical summit, with an anniversary programme designed to keep thrilling young and old. The park’s mascots will have a more prominent role, new shows will be presented and the popular Làser Show will be back on summer evenings. The season also will see the opening of chef Rafa Zafra’s new eatery in the La Masia building in June.
On 4 October, during Tibidabo’s birthday month, a community walk will set off from the Jardinets de Gràcia to Plaça del Doctor Andreu, where participants can catch the Cuca de Llum funicular to reach the park and enjoy a festive day filled with activities and special events.
