Situated in the Montju\u00efc, one of the most beautiful locations in Barcelona<\/u>, the Magic Fountain, or Font m\u00e0gica de Montju\u00efc, is a beautiful fountain designed by Carles Bu\u00efgas. Built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition, the fountains really became a major tourist attraction in the 1980\u2019s, when musical and lights were added so that the fountains could provide a spectacular entertainment show.<\/p>\n

Seeing the Fountains<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re staying in Barcelona accommodation<\/a> right in the centre of the city, you can easily travel to Montju\u00efc on the Metro using the L3 green line or the L1 red line to the Pla\u00e7a d’Espanya stop. Show times vary depending on the season; the fountains usually erupt between 21:00 and 22:30 during the summer months, and a little earlier during spring and autumn, usually starting around 19:00. It\u2019s always best to check with the Barcelona tourist office to make sure you don\u2019t miss out on this amazing local event.<\/p>\n

Surrounding Area<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Magic Fountain boasts a great location in Barcelona<\/a>, and there\u2019s plenty of other sights and attractions nearby to enjoy. Just north of the fountains you\u2019ll find Pla\u00e7a d’Espanya which is famous for its looming Venetian towers and, of course, for another of the city\u2019s fountains, which was designed by  Josep Maria Jujol. Jujol previously worked with Gaud\u00ed, and definite Gaud\u00ed influences shine through.<\/p>\n

To the south you\u2019ll find the sprawling Parc de Montju\u00efc, which is not only a great area for kids to play, but also for us to learn, too. There\u2019s many museums located throughout the park, including the Museu d’Arqueologia, the Museu Etnol\u00f2gic and the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC). Although the neighbourhood is a little away from the heart of Barcelona, many people do choose to book a Barcelona holiday rental here thanks to the many different things to see and do, the amazing views of Montju\u00efc, and the slightly wider, airier streets than those in historic Barcelona which are easier for families.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
