One of the most popular tourist attractions in Barcelona are the Magic Fountains of Montjuic at Plaza Espanya.
Built in 1929 the magic fountain is a spectacular display of colour, light, motion, music and water acrobatics - if you mix all these elements together in just the right combinations, you end up with pure magic! The magic fountains are a "must see" when you come to Barcelona and highly recommended.
Although Barcelona is very famous for having many tourist attractions, a lot of the most famous ones like Casa Mila, Casa Batllo or Sagrada Familia charge an expensive entrance fee. However the Magic Fountains along with other sights like Parc Guell are free, so you can sit back relax and just admire the spectacle in front of you.
During the summer months from May to September the Magic Fountains are on Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday night from 20.00 until midnight. In the winter the are on Friday and Saturday beginning at 19.00 until 21.00. There is a wide range of Barcelona accommodation available around the Monjuic and Poble Sec area near the fountains. For example the Hotel Catalonia Plaza has overlooks Plaza Espanya where you can see some of the fountain shows. However if you are staying further away then getting there is easy.
Metro: Plaza Espanya (Red line or Green line)
