Barcelona - Pueblo



Built in 1929 for the occasion of the Barcelona International Exhibition, the Pueblo Español (or Spanish village) brings together some actually quite attractive traditional architecture from all over Spain and stuffs it full of handicraft and souvenir shops and packs the place with concerts and bars that somehow do not seem so tacky on hot summer nights.




The Spanish Village is on the Avenida Marquès de Comillas, going up Montjuich, a 10-15 minute walk from the Plaza España; the tourist bus also stops outside. (The driver has just dumped you there if you have come on a coach tour.)


É um lugar calmo, limpo e em bom estado, que proporciona umas horas de um passeio agradável. Cada casa representa uma região de Espanha. Tem esplanadas, jardins e bons miradouros sobre a cidade.
