  • I think this is really an off the beaten path activity because I presume nobody goes to Barcelona to watch dancing water fountains :-)

    But, if you go to Barcelona in the summer you shouldnt miss this one. At the Plaza de Espanha, close to the Montjuic and just a few meters away from the Castilho (Musem of catalan art), there is a very big water fountain that dances to classical music.

    It is a really beautiful show and it happens during the summer starting 5 pm every day. It is also a good way to have some rest because generally by the end of the day your feet can be killing you!

    City Views: Barcelona by Bike!

  • Wanna see every corner of Barcelona? Get a bike tour! It is fun, healthy and cheap.

    The tours generally start at the Colon statue at the end of Las Ramblas. They can give you a very complete view of this beautiful city. As Barcelona basically stands on a flat terrain, dont worry about doing too much effort to follow the group - although the tour is shaped for the young traveller if you are fit you wont have any problems.

    I advise you to buy a water bottle and bring it with you in a backpack as Barcelona can be really hot during the summer. Besides, have fun and take great pictures of the very narrow alleys that you can only see if you are riding a bike or if you are walking.

     (...) by fair weather, afternoons to have a soft drink (...) at the facsimile buildings (...) dinner and dance or lunch (...) place was built in 1929 (...) booked in any restaurant or bar, you don't pay an entry ticket.
