Singing fountains ... Barcelona ... Country of witchcraft and dreams

What is Barcelona? This is the city that Hercules built almost half a thousand years after the advent of Rome.

It is the largest industrial center in Spain. This is the largest port. It is a city where more than one and a half million people live. And also it's singing fountains. Barcelona is one of the few cities in the world that can surprise tourists with a magical spectacle of dancing water.

Fountains, cascades and man-made waterfalls start at Plana Espana, in two amazingly beautiful towers, built in Venetian style, and accompany the surprised tourists to the Museum of Catalonia. This water extravaganza is in the highest part of a crowded city, on a mountain. Its name, Montjuic, is translated as "the magic mountain". And the explanation for this name is not needed for a long time.

Fountains of Barcelona - this is a spellbinding show of sorcery, a magical extravaganza, based on the bubbling water dance, enchanting music, the magic dance of fire.

Just imagine…

Twilight descends on the city. Sunset gradually turns pale, slowly disappears from the horizon. Suddenly, the soft sounds of unearthly music are heard. It seems that the wind brings it from afar, and maybe it's just a whisper of a walking crowd, the rustle of leaves, the sonorous laughter of children. But the time passes, the music is heard more and more clearly, and now all the air, the whole space is filled with magical sounds of classical music. A powerful stream of water soar upward. They then fly high up, then break up into hundreds of colored jets. It was the singing fountains that came to life. Barcelona freezes in awe.

With each sound, with each musical movement, the height of the jets, the strength of the water, the illumination changes. The red, golden, blue, green streams of water react sensitively to the melody, accompanying an unprecedented action unfolding by the fountain. And not a fountain at all. This mysterious, lively, sensual creature moving in the dance: erotic, mysterious, loving.

Everyone who witnesses the impassive dance of water and light, for a moment they forget about where they are. They no longer see the singing fountains. Barcelona together with tourists is transferred to a fairy-tale world, in which there is no evil, there are no misfortunes. Only love, only beauty, only a breathtaking sense of flight.

Time goes by, sensual tension grows, and rhythmic fascinating extravaganza does not stop. The cycle of light, music, dancing and singing water circles the spectators' heads, again and again replacing drawings, outlines, pictures, figures, patterns.

But the music is slowly subsiding, the colors are not so bright, only the sound of water does not subside, but it seems to be intensifying. This ends the show. It was time for the admiring viewers to return from their country of dreams to their reality. The fairy tale is over.

Do singing fountains work during the day? Barcelona, singing fountains of which the tourists of the whole world are eager to see, is proud that this miracle of engineering is working round the clock. Every quarter of an hour in a light time fountains change shape and outlines, but neither music nor play of light accompanies these actions.

Do you know where to spend your vacation? You are waiting for the most beautiful city of Spain, its singing fountains. Barcelona is a world of dreams, mysterious witchcraft, all-consuming sensuality. Forget the rest in Barcelona you can never.
