FONT MAGICA



One of the most beautiful sites in Barcelona is the Font Magica ( MagicFountains ) which we went to see on Sandi's last night in town.  It is a spectacle of music, colored lights and huge amounts of water.  

The Magic Fountains were designed by the engineer Farles Buigas and was one of the successes of the 1929 International Exhibition.  The fountain was restored for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.  It is worth mentioning that the fountain operates on recycled water  in order to save drinking water.  

I posted a video of the fountain on Facebook.  Quite spectacular.  The other water elements are also lovely at night with the lights on.


And the show begins:





















After the show we walked down the grand esplanade to the Las Arenas shopping mall  to have dinner in a roof top restaurant.  


Our choice for the evening was an Italian Restaurant - La Tagliatella.  Our meal and wine was delicious.  
A good night for Sandi's last night with us.
