Located on the mountain of Montjuïc, one of the most emblematic areas of Barcelona, Poble Espanyol reveals the essence of Spanish culture where history meets culture and leisure through a pleasant and peaceful stroll in the open air surrounded by nature and recreational spaces.
It was born with the aim of representing the essence of life in the villages of Spain, a mission it maintains today thanks to the constant revision of its content. To enter into the minds of the creators you can visit the exhibition “A photographic journey. The construction of Poble Espanyol”.
In more than 40,000 m2 of open-air space, the Poble Espanyol becomes a museum that houses 117 full-scale architectural constructions from different parts of Spain. Strolling around you will discover a variety of restaurants offering typical Spanish cuisine, shops where you can buy local produce, audiovisual spaces and the Fran Daurel Museum where you can admire contemporary works of art.
In recent years the Poble offers, apart from the usual content open 365 days a year, cultural and leisure activities in relation to the seasons: Spring, Summer, Winter and Autumn.
