The magic fountian.



The Font Màgica or Magic fountain was part of a project built for the 1929 Universal Exhibition In Barcelona. The exhibition took place on Montjuïc, a hill on the eastern end of Barcelona. We visited the magic fountian on a rainy evening In april, and it really was very beautiful.




the fountian changes colors,dances and explodes to a 15 minute soundtrack. its really fun.


and it was kinda nice to be acutally getting wet while we watched, so I considered the rain was a bonus. I had a lot of fun taking pictures of the fountian and people with umbrellas stading around watching. And Of course I enjoyed watching the show too.
here is a link to a short slide show on line with more information about the fountian. I would definatily recomend trying to work it into a day if you are ever in Barcelona.
