When we checked in the hotel clerk told us we must go on Friday evening to see the Magic Fountains at Fira Barcelona. We took the Metro to Placa Espanya and walked with the crowds the short distance to the grounds of the 1929 Exhibition where the fountains are located. This was the place to be! For several hours the fountains including colored lights "performed" to both classical and contemporary music.
Afterwords we returned to the plaza and entered an old bull fighting ring, Las Arenas, now a huge shopping mall, movie theatre and restaurant venue where we found "early" dinner around 9pm. Spaniards eat at 10:00 or 10:30!
The last shot is from the top of Las Arenas looking back towards the fountains and the museum.
