Get to Know the famous the beautiful Font Montjuic of Barcelona!

During the summer season, the Barcelona Magic Fountain show runs from Thursday through Sunday, with the first show starting at 9:00 pm and the last show ending at 11:20 pm (scroll down for the full Font Montjuic Schedule). It is a popular event and it always attracts a large crowd – but don’t let this deter you. If you make it through the throngs of people who tend to gather around the fountain itself and continue half-way up the stairs of the MNAC museum you are sure to find a nice spot to sit with an amazing view – in my opinion a much better view than being directly next to the fountain itself.

From the steps of the MNAC, above the Montjuic Fountain area you have a full, unobstructed view of the magic fountain show and you can still hear the music. It is easy to find a peaceful spot with plenty of room to have a little makeshift picnic, Barcelona tapas style.

Plaza Espanya is a major landmark in Barcelona, so it´s not hard to find. Located in Barrio Poble Sec, you can catch a bus or take the metro lines L1 & L3. If you´re staying at Sant Jordi Hostels – Rock Palace it´s only a 30 minute walk from the hostel, or you can jump on the L3 at Universitat 3 stops to Espanya. We also recommend checking out Plaza Espanya during the daytime! It´s a totally different vibe and absolutely breathtaking. The perfect spot to take some photos!
