Plaça+de+Espanya,

The idea behind the Poble Espanyol was to illustrate and display local Spanish architectural styles and crafts. It was laid out for the 1929 international Exhibition. Building styles from all over Spain are illustrated by 116 houses created by many well-known architects and artists of the time. Resident artisans produce crafts including hand-blown glass, ceramics, or even Catalan sandals (espardenyes). In Montjuïc, you’ll find other important monument such as Pavelló Mies Van der Rohe, Castell de Montjuïc, Archeological Museum… Botanical Gardens but there isn’t much time to visit all these places.
