FLIGHTS TO Barcelona

Cutting through the heart of this city, the boulevard is a strolling haven for tourists which starts from Placa Catalunya and ends at Port Vell. It has many hotels, tourist shops and street performers which catch the attention of any person passing by. Another of this boulevard is that it divides Barcelona’s two districts: Gothic Quarter for tourists and El Raval. Main attractions include the Liceu Theatre, La Boqueria food market and Miro’s mosaic. A Spanish poet Federico Garcia Lorca was once quoted, “It is the only street in the world, which I wish would never end.

This fountain would not have come to exist if it weren’t for Carles Buigas. While work was going underway in 1929, there was a need to add something ‘special’ to it that would make it stand apart.

It is safe to say that the name ‘Magic’ is not a misnomer.
