Error creating a symbolic link

I want to create a symbolic link in linux, but I always get the same error.

First I create the symbolic link this way:

ln -s preproceso/genomas_12juny/Bacteria wwwprueba/webproves/g3/genomas/

What I want is to create a symbolic link in wwwprueba/webproves/g3/genomas/ named "Bacteria" and with the content of preproceso/genomas_12juny/Bacteria/

When I try to open the link created I get the following error:

The link "Bacteria" is broken. Do you want to move it to the trash?
The link cannot be used because its destination "preproceso/genomas_12juny/Bacteria" does not exist.

What am I doing wrong?

Either, use the full path to specify the link, or use a path relative to where the link will be created.
