The Canòdrom as an element to locate the neighborhood

🎙️ Collective documentation

The participants in the collective documentation analyze the photograph and give attributes and identity to the people it shows: "maybe they were gamblers, people who had money...".

On the other hand, they reminisce about past times. They remember that the Canòdrom served as a reference point to locate the neighborhood of El Congrés: "in those days taxis didn't have GPS, they went by sight. Sometimes, you were, how should I say, at Plaza España, and you said 'Sant Andreu' and they didn't know if it was Sant Andreu de la Barca or Sant Andreu del Palomar or Sant Andreu of whatever. My husband always said: to the Canòdrom Meridiana and everyone knew where it was. Everyone located the neighborhood by the Canòdrom".

👥Authors of the documentation

Pilar, Neus and Carmen.
