Plaça d'Espanya

Plaça d'Espanya is located in the district of Montjuïc, the southwestern part and one of the greenest regions of the city. It's right in front of you when you step out of the Espanya subway station.

Well as you see, it's a palace. It's mighty. Magnificent, with its huge fountain, central garden, and probably millions of steps that lead to the great stucture. Maybe it's the only palace in the world that has outer escalators! All in all, it's impressive but not so much as what it transforms into on a Saturday night. Wait this this post.

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (MNAC) is also here, in case you care for yet another museum visit.
