Spanish Voyage :- Barcelona, El Poble Espanyol

November 21st, 2008 by Nick Tay

After we got back to our hotel on the second day, we decided on which of the attractions Barcelona had to offer which were available on the Bus Touristic path interested us. First stop was this place called El Poble Espanyol, which was described bellow on Wikitravel :-

A fake village with replicas of characteristic buildings in Spain (like the Avila walls, the Vall-de-roures town hall, etc). The village hosts the Fondation Fran Daurel, where you can enjoy an interesting Modern Art collection boasting Miró, Picasso, Tapiès and other, mostly Spanish and Catalan, nowaday’s artists. The audio tour is very worthwhile here

The tickets for the bus ride came with discount vouchers for this place, and thus only costing 6 Euro’s each, we decided to give it a try.

We loved this place. From the above album (located here), you can see how beautifuly done this village was. There were tight alleys, great worksmen selling thier marvelous works of art. There is even a glass making factory you can visit and watch them blow glass bottles! There is a small museum featuring some spanish art and a few cafes to just sit down and relax. This place is worth it.

On this day in History..
