This open-air museum was constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exhibition. They tried to introduce visitors from all over the world to Spanish architecture, way of living and cultures. They really achieved their intention and are continuously doing so over the past 80 years. The site is still well maintained and used not only for tourism but also for events... More

It's has representations of architecture from around Spain but no real point or history behind the buildings, just overpriced souvenirs and poor quality food. More

The artisan shops are better than the shops in the city centre. It's lovely if you are interested in photography. Every corner offers a different view. Our two... More
