Montjuic magic fountains at Barcelona

If you are looking to take your boyfriend or girlfriend for a romantic weekend this Valentines then my recommendation this year would be Barcelona for people who have not been there before. If you have visited Barcelona before and your hasn’t then this is a good opportunity to show them around Barcelona as you have already been there.

Barcelona is famous for it’s history and culture, so this is the place to be to view historic buildings and experience great culture. To travel to Barcelona from UK you will be able to find cheap flights through Ryan Air and Easy Jet. Once you are in Barcelona there are many places for you to visit and to be honest you might not have enough time to visit all those places in your Weekend getaway.

Surrounded by beautiful Mediterranean Sea at the bottom and Tibidabo Mountain at the back Barcelona is ideal for romantic getaways. You can take cable cars to enjoy the view of the Mountain and they also do water sportswhich might be what you are interested in.

There are many other things you will be able to do in Barcelona. One is catching a tour bus to view the beautiful Antonio Gaudi’s architecture, these buildings are spread all around the city. Another is the famous long street of Las Ramblas, this is not just a straight road as you get to see so much in this street. Another must see place is Gothic Quarter where there is a beautiful Gothic Cathedral.

My favorite romantic spot in Barcelona is Montjuic where there is a beautiful water fountain, the video is attached in this post.. It is known as the magical fountain of Montjuic. You will see people from different culture and country in this spot relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view with a smile on their faces. This is the exact spot where I met my other half and we try and make time to visit this place every year to recollect and remember the sweet memories of our first meeting.
