Gran Clariana is a good concept that has been poorly executed. It’s a dusty area due to the dirt track encircling the grassy area. Additionally, there is limited seating that is always covered in dust. There are only 2 poorly maintained tables with seating in a nearly 2 hectare space.

The dogs specific spaces are a very short-term solution - my dog enjoys them the few first times, but I personally don’t…. It leaves her all dirty and she gets bored after a few time 😢 I wish this park would let our dogs spend a nicer time with...
