Besòs (eng)
The course of a sick river
The etymology of the Besòs River is somewhat uncertain, even though there is already a mention of it as far back as the tenth century, with the name Bissaucio. This river originates in Montmeló and along the way it receives water from various tributaries, such as Congost or the Mogent. For centuries it has provided water for Barcelona’s fields, and in the tenth century the Rec Comtal was built—a canalization that carried its waters to the orchards of the surrounding areas of the city of Barcelona.

What attracts me the most of this neighbourhood is the cultural diversity, and in its squares, I enjoy seeing how children from different backgrounds—mostly born in Catalonia— play together. www.avvsobesos.com. If you enter Barcelona by car along the Gran Vía, at this point between the municipalities of Sant Adrià and up to almost the Glories square you will see little lights of colors on the road: do not be alarmed! It is the reflection of the colored glasses of the acoustic screens that have been installed to reduce traffic noise. A light game to welcome you to the city.
