The real "Magic Fountain"

When it comes to The Trevi Fountain being magical that is definitely a word I would use. The only thing is when I visited Barcelona recently I discovered what the actual Magic Fountain is. In Spanish, the Font Magica is a huge fountain in front of their art museum that displays a fountain show of colors, and different patterns of water after dark. The main fountain is in the middle is at ground level but as you ascend up the escalators or stairs there are a series of more fountains tinted with a goldish color. The real treat though is in the middle with the main circular fountain. The fountain spews water in really high circular, or straight up patterns while different colored lights make the water look like a real life tie-dyed shirt! As you walk past there are hundreds of people taking in the sight as well as the live music all around on the platform right above the center fountain. I can definitely say this fountain is a close second to The Trevi and a definite tourist site to visit if in Barcelona.
