The Barcelona Zoo, Heritage of Snowflake (Copito de Nieve)

The Barcelona Zoo is one of the favorite destinations of the children. Besides a huge variety of species there's a train for children, a restaurant and a shop to buy a souvenir after the visit. The zoo is located in the Park de la Ciutadella.

The Barcelona Zoo is known for its big star, Snowflake (Copito de Nieve in Spanish), an albino gorilla who unfortunately died in 2003. His memory lives on in Barcelona, and especially in the zoo in the form of Snowflake's Grant. The goal for this grant is to aid research on primates in memory and tribute to the famous gorilla. The zoo also participates in various international and European breeding programs and maintenance of endangered species.
