Around 2.5 million people visit the Font Màgica de Montjuïc every year. In November, for a few days, visitors will find the fountain without its show.
The music returns on 19 November.
The technical stop will take place from 1 to 15 November and will also affect the fountains on Eix Maria Cristina. The show will resume on the 19th, with choreographed performances scheduled for winter hours until 31 March.
Sessions will be held on Thursdays and Fridays. There will also be shows on Saturdays, from 20:00 to 21:00.
An annual check-up to get it ready
The Ajuntament de Barcelona will use the pause to carry out the usual annual maintenance. The work includes the mandatory annual cleaning and disinfection of the basins and structural elements of the fountain.
Preventive maintenance will also be carried out on the water feature valves. The team will check the mechanical transmissions of the oscillating and rotating features.
History and operating information on its website
The Font Màgica’s own website offers information about its origins and history. It also traces its evolution since its inauguration in 1929 and provides operating data, schedules, and current information.
Heritage conservation is also addressed in the Poblet master plan, which will set out actions to protect the monastery and its monastic life. Information about the fountain can be found on its official website.
