★★★★★2 months agoThis is a fun fountain show with lights and music. It runs for 30 minutes and there are two shows on certain days. Make sure to check the dates and times because it changes by the season. This is quite popular but there is lots of space and good views from all over. Expect there to be people in your photos unless you go all the way to the front.

★★★★★a month agoThe combination of water, lights, and music creates a truly magical atmosphere that is enjoyable for visitors of all ages. The fountain is beautifully located with stunning views of the surrounding area, making it a perfect spot for an evening visit. The show was well-organized, and the synchronization of the music, colors, and water movements was impressive. It is one of Barcelona’s most iconic attractions and definitely worth seeing. I highly recommend visiting if you’re in the city and looking for a memorable experience. A beautiful and unforgettable place!
