The Magic Fountain on Montjuic hill was originally built in 1929. Its present-day version has 3,620 water jets circulating 2,600 litres of recycled water every second. The water spout can rise 52 m in the air! The 4,760 lights work in unison with the jets to create spectacular shows. Note that the schedule of the shows differs throughout the year. In June - September, they start at 21:30 from Wednesday to Sunday.

The National Art Museum of Catalonia has an extensive collection of visual art, from Romanesque church paintings to modernist works. It is located in Palau Nacional, a 50,000 square metres classical-style building constructed in 1929. The Palace is crowned by a large dome similar to one of St. Peter's Basilica in the Vatican City. Even if you are not much of a museum-goer, come here to see the Palace in all its grandeur.

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia. There are some serious tensions between this region and the Spanish government. During the 2017 referendum, 90% of Catalans supported the idea of creating an independent state, but the Constitutional Court of Spain declared it illegal. Think twice before commenting on the political situation in the region not to offend the locals!
