Palau Nacional de Montjuïc y Font Màgica

Had a great last excursion in Spain visiting a beautiful area at the foot of Montjuïc. There is palace that seems to have been converted into the National Catalan Art Museum, which I did not go into, and a whole sort of park leading up to it. There is also a place called the magic fountain there which does incredible dynamic shows set to music. It was an incredible place to watch the sun set, get some last views of the city, and see some street performers.
I can’t believe I am already leaving Spain! I can say without a doubt that Barcelona has been my favorite city on this trip and possibly my favorite city I have ever visited. It just has so much going on - lots of different cultures and neighborhoods with very distinct personalities, a mix of an old city with rich history and an incredibly modern new city built around it, arguably the most famous sports club in the world, and incredible art and architecture - all set in between mountains on the beach! Just an amazing place. I was there for 8 days total and wasn’t able to do everything I wanted. The city I stayed in the longest other than Barcelona was Rome with 4 days and I was ready to leave by then. No doubt I’ll be back to Barça in the future!Read more
