Introduction

The Plaza de España is one of the most important squares in Barcelona, built during the 1929 World's Fair. It is the intersection of several major streets and a bustling commercial center. The square is flanked by two Venetian towers, behind which is the Fira de Barcelona exhibition center, and further up is the magnificent building of the National Palace. From May to October every year, the music fountain show on the square at night attracts many tourists and locals to come and watch.
