Magic Fountain of Montjuïc
Font Màgica de Montjuïc
A giant musical fountain left over from the 1929 International Exposition, where water, light and music perform in sync at night, free to watch.
The Magic Fountain was designed by Carles Buigas for the 1929 International Exposition, with music added before the 1992 Olympics. During shows the water jets change colour and shape in time with the music, set against the illuminated National Palace behind. Each show lasts about 20–30 minutes and repeats. Entry is free. It is recommended to arrive 20 minutes early to secure a spot, and to watch out for pickpockets. Show dates and times vary by season, and performances may be suspended during drought-related water restrictions. From Espanya metro station, walk about 5 minutes along the avenue.
