"Poble Espanyol" Overrated Sites Tip by DanielF

Overrated Sites, Barcelona: 28 reviews and 16 photos

 
 

The "Spanish village" is a kind of open air museum with reproductions of well known buildings of villages in the different Spanish regions. Not a very original idea, but this one exists since as early as 1929, when it was built with occasion of an international exhibition held in Barcelona. I am not a big fan of these folkloric open air musuems, but I guess this one was much more enyoable than others I have visited.

The museum is open even during the night, as some of the buildings host hight clubs and pubs.

The Poble Espanyol is located in the Montjuic mountain (pictured).
