What you need to know
- Shows after dark start around 9:30pm in summer, so it is a late outing best for kids who can handle a late night
- Free, no ticket and no fixed seating, families spread out on the plaza steps and stand along the railings
- Times shift by season with more nights in summer and fewer in spring, and shows pause over winter
About
Built by Carles Buigas for the 1929 International Expo, the Font Màgica sits at the foot of the Palau Nacional, where Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina runs down to Plaça d'Espanya. After dark it runs a free water, light, and music show: around 2,600 liters a second move through three concentric pools, lit in shifting colors and set to music that ranges from film soundtracks to pop. Kids watch from the steps or the wide plaza below.
