The ‘Magic Fountain’ on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, originally built for the 1929 World Exposition and reborn for the 1992 Olympics, is a must-see spectacle. This unique 15-minute night performance showcases a spectacular display of music and colour-lit water that cascades and ebbs like a mysterious cauldron of fireworks. The fountain extends all the way to the grand Palau Nacional, its shimmering light acting as a magnet for visitors.
