I missed this the first time I went to Barcelona, so glad I made the effort this time. It's an amazing display, totally worth it. The music and lights were so pretty! It's on Thurs-Sun from 9pm. The shows are about 15mins and they run every half hour. We wandered about seeing it from every angle and decided the best... More

The multi-coloured magic fountains make an interesting evening tour, but it's pretty crowded, and do be wary of the dreaded Barcelona pickpockets. More

A must visit event from 9pm but take your camera it was fantastic with the music and the lights.You can get a great view from the top of the Arenas shopping centre but you must also be down near it as it goes on for 2 hours. More

The fountain makes a great display of colours, with music going through several genres and decades. A nice thing to see if you're around and have time, but not necessarily something to detour for. Given the location I expected the music show to be more classical than pop! More

The magic fountain certainly lives up to it's name. It is impressive close-up and from faraway. We managed to get a seat on the balcony just in front of the Magic Fountain so had an amazing view (and got an amazing video :)!) as no one stood in front of us - I can't guarantee that this would happen at...

We saved this for Friday night at the end of a weeklong trip and were absolutely thrilled with the ambience. Grab a beer or some wine and sit back and enjoy the fountains and music. We stayed through two of the music displays, the first was international pop romantics and the second was classical. Enjoy, this is a don't miss!... More
