The Parque de España (Park of Spain) is an urbanistic complex in Rosario, Argentina. It comprises the park itself and a cultural center, with a total surface area of 10,000 m², located near the historical center of the city, on the coast of the Paraná River.
The park is an ample expanse that follows the shoreline of the Paraná, with grass and trees as well as paved paths for pedestrians, and a large parking lot. The cultural center, on the north of the complex, was in part projected by the Catalan urbanist Oriol Bohigas, and includes a 500-seat theater, a conference room, three art exhibition galleries and a video library. The south facade of the building of the cultural center is a set of outdoor stairs that climb several meters from the lower level of the shore. The stairs themselves can seat up to 5,000 people for public shows performed in the park.
The complex also includes a "partnership school", established by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science and directed by Spanish civil servants. The school is property of the Parque de España Complex Foundation since 25 May 1993. There are basic and advanced courses, with a triple orientation (Humanities, Science-Technology and Business). Students of the school gain the appropriate subject equivalences in the Spanish educational system. #argentina #parque_españa #rosario #santa_fe
