Barcelona at night
Excursion through nocturnal Barcelona
We will discover the spectacle of the "Magic Fountains of Barcelona" — in summer — or Montjuïc Mountain in winter, and we will also visit the Spanish Village.
At the foot of Montjuïc Mountain, in front of the National Palace, lies one of the most fascinating shows and most impressive attractions in Barcelona: the Magic Fountains.
In reality, it is a single fountain composed of countless small jets. It is also known as the Magic Fountain, and not by chance: only water, music, and light are capable of creating a grand, colorful spectacle that inevitably captivates all who behold it.
The Magic Fountain was built in 1929 for the Universal Exposition by engineer Carles Buïgas. However, the musical accompaniment was added later, in 1992, during the Barcelona Olympic Games. It was the first fountain in the world to combine all these effects, using truly astonishing technologies for its time. The fountain covers an area of more than 3,000 square meters, and its jets reach heights of up to 50 meters. Each second, 2,600 liters of water are propelled by five pumps, while 3,620 jets rise into the sky, changing shape and color, all accompanied by classical and contemporary music.
Today, thanks to computer technology, the fountain has come to life and achieved perfect synchronization: the water jets move to the rhythm of the music, perceive every transition of the melody, and transform into thousands of colors and hundreds of shapes. It is one of Barcelona’s most visited attractions and continues to amaze both visitors and the city’s own inhabitants.
It is impossible to visit Barcelona without witnessing this immersive nighttime spectacle, which fills the atmosphere with a sense of magic, emotion, and true fantasy.
At the foot of Montjuïc Mountain, there is also a true open-air museum: the Spanish Village.
The Spanish Village is a truly extraordinary place, an architectural complex built in 1927 for the 1929 Universal Exposition. Popularly known as the City of Artisans — and rightly so — here you will find around 116 buildings, including houses, palaces, temples, and churches, representing medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque architectural styles from different regions of the Kingdom of Spain.
Many of the buildings are constructed at full scale, while others are replicas of the originals. However, this does not prevent the Spanish Village from fulfilling its main purpose: to showcase the country’s architectural treasures to a wider audience. In just a few hours, without leaving Barcelona, it is possible to symbolically travel through almost all of Spain.
In addition to its architectural richness, the Spanish Village carefully preserves Spanish artisanal traditions. Local artisans, such as ceramists, gladly share the secrets of their craft and ancestral knowledge.
If during the day the Spanish Village is an ideal place for cultural visits and discovering the essence of the country, at night the most interesting part begins...
The City of Artisans transforms into a true nightlife center: a vibrant space where shows and concerts are held, flamenco and cabaret performances take place, and numerous bars, restaurants, nightclubs, and exhibitions attract both local youth and lovers of lively, cosmopolitan nightlife.
