The magic fountain is a spectacular display of colour, light, motion, music and water acrobatics - all elements mixed in one.It is pure magic! Colourful, spectacular, with many audience. I really mean MANY. It is difficult to get the the fountain, but we manage to 'swim' among the people, with the baby stroller just to get a rainy splash of water. Some audience even brought their umbrella for cover up.
Wish I could upload the sound and the splash of water.
The history of this magic fountain started with the idea of Carles Buigas for Great Universal Exhibition. He submitted his plans one year before the exhibition and many thought that the project was too ambitious to be created, let alone completed on time. Over 3000 workers were commissioned to work on the project and less than 1 year later the magic fountain was born. At last, the magic fountain of Montjuïc's made its debut on May 19, 1929.
The magic fountain is a "must see" when you come to Barcelona and highly recommended. So, take note of its performances schedule!
