Catalunya en Miniatura has a total of , of them devoted to 147 scale models and for parking and services. Visitors follow a single path where the models are installed sorted by the geographical
comarcas (counties) of Catalonia, and its four provinces (Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona). The scale models area includes of grass, 4,500 plants, 450 trees, 600
bonsais, 35 palm trees and more than 3,000 seasonal flower plants. It includes waterfalls, fountains and lakes decorated with 400 tons of stones. Nowadays the park has an amusement railway, 940 meter long, used by visitors along the external perimeter of the scale model area.
Construction of models The scale models construction process includes several stages. At first, the
architectural drawings of the building or monument are used to create new drawings at a
scale 1:33 in the case of Barcelona city and 1:25 for the other buildings. The precision demanded by model makers requires highly accurate drawings as well as detailed photographs. After that, the model makers start working on the structure that will hold up the model. Doors and windows are created using
silicon moulds where
polyurethane is injected to obtain the desired shape. When the building or monument has stone walls, there are two methods to do the engraving, either with previously engraved parts, or by directly engraving the walls of the model. After that, the
cornices,
balusters and
handrails are added, and finally, the roof, which has one side that can be open to be able to access the electrical installation, because all models have their own electrical illumination. Once the construction is finished, the model is painted using special
paints that can resist atmospheric phenomena and temperature changes. At the location where the model is to be installed, the foundation is laid building a brick wall around the perimeter of the model, leaving an empty space inside where sand and stones will work as a filter for the rainwater, which goes away through a pipe connected to the main drainage. Finally, the finishing activities include gardening, streets, streetlights and decorative elements such as cars or persons. It required many hours of labor to complete each model. For example, the scale model of the
Sagrada Família church required 13,000 hours of work by 6 people, the
Montserrat mountain 5,000 hours of work by 3 people, the
Camp Nou stadium 4,000 hours of work by 3 people, the
Monastery of Poblet 2,000 hours of work by 3 people, the
Cathedral of Lleida 1,000 hours of work by 2 people, and the Torre Galatea (
Dalí Theatre and Museum), 500 hours of work by 2 people. File:Catalunya en Miniatura-Sagrada familia 2.JPG|Model of
