Sometimes the best things you find on a trip are those you overhear from those around you. While at the beach in Barcelona (more on that later), this girl from Australia recommended the fountain show at Plaza de Espanya. When we took a bus through Plaza de Espanya on our way into the city from the airport, we didn't notice any big fountains, so we were a little dubious. However, when we followed the crowd off the train and into the plaza, the scene just kept getting better and better.
The fountains at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas are renowned, but they pale in comparison to these. With the Museu National d' Art Catalunya rising up in the background on Montjuic, the scene was gorgeous. The fountains were choreographed to music, with the water continually changing color throughout. The light show in and of itself was impeccable. The water changed to colors I didn't even know were possible. 
We climbed up to the Museu, sat on the steps and looked out at the whole city below. It was beautiful - an unforgettable part of an amazing Barcelona trip.
