Font Magica, the Magic Fountain is between Plaça d’Espanya and the Palau National in Barcelona. For the evening, a magnificent light show was promised.
On arrival at the Plaça d’Espanya, we are looking for a restaurant because we have not eaten anything since breakfast. As we didn’t see a restaurant at the Placa, we try it in the former bull ring.

The former bull ring is now a shopping center and in the basement we found a number of snack bars, but no restaurant. So went to the Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes. Here we find indeed a restaurant whose food was quite good, but the ambiance right next to the road is not particularly.
At nightfall, we first go to the roof terrace of Las Arenas. We find an outdoor elevator that costs one euro per person. Once at the top, we enjoy the lovely view.
But to our surprise, here are the nice restaurants we had previously missed. Probably there is also a free lift somewhere.
Font Magica
The Magic Fountain was opened just before the 1929 World Fair. 3000 workers needed merely a year to complete it. The fountain exudes 2600 liters of water per second.
Prior to the Olympic Games 1992 it was completely restored.
The colored illuminated water pours out of 3600 nozzles, accompanied by music and provides a fascinating show of colors and sound. We are enthusiastic about the innumerable forms, designed by the water.
