Thanksgiving Gathering - Potluck Picnic
Join us on November 30th for a Thanksgiving gathering at Parque del Estación del Norte in the form of a casual potluck picnic.
As we are trying to understand what happened on November 5th and come to terms with it, we still have many things to be thankful for. Join fellow Democrats Abroad members to celebrate this quintessentially American feast and come together as a community.
This event may be be canceled or moved to a member's home in the case of bad weather.
Official description of the park:
It would be impossible to describe this park without mentioning the art it contains. The main entrance on C/ Almogàvers is flanked by two very tall, white, ceramic walls, which are bounded by the long, very gentle and grassy slopes found on both sides. They provide an observation point for seeing the whole park in perspective.
Small, wooden-beam paths make it easier for visitors to walk up. Ceramics re-appear in two further guises, two sculptures that determine the layout of the park and are its undisputed main attractions. One of these, close to the old railway station building, is a large, blue ceramic facade that extends over the grass, entitled Cel caigut (Fallen Sky). The other, full of lime trees and entitled Espiral arbrada (Tree-lined Spiral), is further on, by the bridge on C/ Sardenya where the first part of the park ends. It is worth going up there to see the sculptures.
