I live down the street from Placa de Espanya and Montjuic and every Friday and Saturday night they have a spectacular fountain and lights show. I went this yesterday for surprisingly the first time since I’ve been in Barcelona. Every half hour from 7pm to 9pm there is a 10-minute show. I’ve never such coordination between the water shooting, spewing and flowing from the fountains, the multi-colored lights and the music that accompanied the show. I went with my friend Emily and we walked all the way to up to the Museo Nacional d’Art de Catalunya. We ordered dos cervesas and sat at a table that overlooked the entire city from a great vantage point. In the distance we could see Tibidabo, the highest point in Barcelona in the Collserola mountain range. It was lit up and I wondered if anybody was up there right now looking back at us. Beneath us and to the right we saw La Sagrada Familia which was an amazing sight to see lit up at night. We stayed for almost an hour and then walked down back towards Placa de Espanya. I’ll be back next weekend for sure.
