Magic Fountain of Montjuic

Keep your volumes down a little bit for this - there's lots of background noise, but we didn't want to swap the audio as this track belongs with it.



This fountain is located in Barcelona. Jump off the Metro at Placa Espanya, walk up the hill and observe. It runs after 9:00pm, and was first shown in 1876 or something like that.

Barcelona is spectacular

A lot to pack in. 3 trips into and out of the city planned. All worked out. First we caught our free shuttle in to town (offered by the 5 star tower next door). Had a walk around the centre, down La Rambla (famous main street), into some of the smaller streets off the side into the old town.

Finally an apartment!

Had to get up early to catch four different trains. We were meant to have a long wait at Port Bou for our last train, but there was one about to leave for Barcelona and since it didn’t require a reservation we hopped on it and arrived in Barcelona an hour and a half earlier than we’d expected. Nice surprise. This was a very good Spanish train too, despite only being second class.

Found our Apartment suite. Absolutely stunning with gorgeous big black tiles throughout and nice furniture. Was great to have a kitchen again. Walked over to a close supermarket and had great fun picking out stuff we could cook. Very tired, so didn’t go out. Just had a nice night in cooking dinner, watching movies and drinking sparkling wine.
