The magic fountains of Montjuïc are exactly what they sound like… magical!
I have to admit that the first time I visited the Magic Fountain I was pretty skeptical. I mean, let’s face it, an illuminated fountain that changes color in time to music sounds…well, pretty cheesy if you ask me… but that couldn’t be any further away from what it’s actually like.
The Magic Fountain of Montjuic is actually an incredibly impressive display of water , colorful lights and music ranging from classical to modern hits. The show is a spectacular display of color, light, motion, music and water…. and when they mixed these elements it was absolutely stunning!
Not only the fountains themselves magical, but the whole area (Plaza Espanya) is magnificent. As you walk through the beautiful Torres Venecianes (Venetian Towers) looking towards Montjuïc, you are greeted by the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC).
This is definitely a must see when you’re in Barcelona…. and the best part is… it’s completely free!
I have been to the Magic Fountain show more times than I can count. Here are some more photos and videos give you an idea just how magical these fountains are!

Me too! thanks for checking out my post 🙂
I’ve been to Barcelona twice now and seen quite a lot of the city but I never made it to Montjuic! There’s so much to see there. Incredible photos and videos of the fountains!
Looks really cool, I will definitely have to check it out if I am in the area 🙂
These fountains do look magical! They remind me of ones in Kew Gardens at Christmas, though they are unfortunately not free. I hope to see these next time I visit Barcelona.
I have only visited Barcelona ona school trip and the fountains were not part of our itinerary. I would love to go back to Barcelona and see it again as a more grown up than I was then 😀 It’s a beautiful city and I remember I loves its vibe.
That looks like a nice show they put up there! I can imagine that you were sceptical at first, these kind of fountains can be quite underwhelming. But this one looks beautiful 🙂
I LOVE BCN! Such a great post and I love your night shots.
Lovely photos and videos!! I was blown away by the fountains, much more than I was expecting. It was amazing how many people turned up each night to see the show, it reminded me of a New Year’s Eve in Sydney harbour! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Amazing!! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you 😊
Looks like fun. Nice post.
Thank you!!
Thank you for following Indifferent Ignorance! I’ll definitely check out Montjuïc fountains when I’m in Barcelona. 🙂

This looks like so much fun! Great photos and videos 🙂
I absolutely love the light show!! Looks so much fun 🙂
Musical fountains are best enjoyed when you see them for the first time. I remember I could never believe how water is responding to the music. I still watch them with awe. Marking it for as and when I get to go to Barcelona.
Thanks for posting the schedule of the fountains, this is useful!
I love a good light show! Especially if it is a place the cheetah girls preformed!! Also, awesome night shots!
Oooo! This is so gorgeous! I never knew about this! You are right, its magical!
Love Spain, Love Barcelona and love this fountain! First time I vivited we just happened to walk by it at the right time =)
Oh wow so cool! I am planning a trip to Barcelona soon and this will definitely go on my must-see list 🙂
This is really cool! And the fact that entry is free makes it even better. So magical and imbues a feel good mood! Nice videos and photos
Beautiful story and visuals! I didn’t know about this place. Thanks 💘 for the great introduction
Wooooow! Stunning 🙂
Thank you 😊
Wow, just amazing bro.
Went to Barcelona several times and i’ve never seen it! So i guess next time i will, thanks for putting the opening times shedule.
Absolutely love Barcelona. We’ve been twice and both times we made sure to visit the Magic Fountain. Such a fantastic spectacle.
Once I had a chance to visit similar fountains show in Prague, but the Magic Fountains look really unique and worth seeing. Thanks for sharing!
Barcelona is definitely on my bucket list. I’ve heard great things! And your shots are incredible. One day i’ll Get there and explore it’s wonderfulnes
Wow this fountain display is fantastic! It reminds me of one I saw in Dubai. Thanks for sharing!
We have a light show in the UK which is pretty spectacular but I love the sound of the Spanish magic fountain show.For some reason it reminds me of fireworks, which is a good thing of course! I was so entranced by the magical colours of the fountain!
What an awesome water artwork, it looks so amazing. Recently, i also saw a water play that was related to a traditional mythological story and I must say I unnerved me.
I agree. There’s just something special about water and night. Especially when paired with the beautiful colors and background. The setting being Barcelona is just further icing on the cake.
Wow! The fountains definitely look like an amazing experience! I bet this was a holiday to remember. We don’t have anything like this in the UK.
Great spot! I love fountain specially if its as magical as this. It would really be an amazing experience to have this trip on holiday!
