Last night in Barcelona


With our last night in Barcelona apon us, we headed to check out the magical fountain at Montjuïc . The fountain show happens Thursday to Sunday from March 31 to October 30. With directions from google in hand we wandered or way through the streets towards Montjuïc. Exploring more of Barcelona's streets and coming across some interesting architecture. 

We walked around the fountain, having arrived early so we could get good seats to watch it. The surrounding area that had been quite empty started to fill as more and more people came to watch the show.  The show runs from 9 pm to 11 pm with a show every half an hour. The fountain show is free so I suggest checking it out if you are in the city on those days. I really enjoyed it. A lot of people were sitting on portions of the fountains that run up by the stairs across from the main fountain and got a little wet when the spray got larger. Depending on the weather and how high the sun is, I suggest going a bit later when it is darker to see the fountains better. We went for the first show and as you can see by the photos it was still very light out. It did get dark quite fast though.
