    Poble Espanyol was created to give vistiors an overview of all of the different people of Spain. This Spanish village contains representations of all of the cultures, lifestyles and craftmanship of Spain. It is a charming town and the craft stores are unique and diverse.

    Guided tours are offered. It would be better to book the tour in advance because you will get a one hour tour rather than a 1/2 hour tour for the same price if you book at the door.

    While you're there, take a walk across the street from the entrance and enjoy the beautiful view that overlooks Barcelona.

    The Poble Espanyol is located on top of the Montjuïc mountain and is an open air museum which shows all kinds of buildings that can be found in Spain. It is a nice trip if you want to escape the busy city (expect to spend some 2 hours here), but if your time is limited, this is not an absolute must-see.

    .An enchanted small town, with narrow streets each representing a community in Spain. You will find restaurants, cultural activities, and hand made stuff. Get a guided tour, have something to eat, go shopping, and watch a Spanish tablao in one day!. There is also activities for the kids on weekends, and some concerts once in a while. There are also bars and discothèques.
    We had our wedding reception here, at a restaurant called Tip-top;our guests ate a lot and everyone thanked us for bringing them here. During the celebration, many left to get souvenirs from the stores.
    There are a few other restaurants and if you cal for a reservation (in advance), you won´t have to pay the entrance fee of 7 euros.

    One of the places I enjoyed a lot was the Spanish Village. It was built for the International Exhibition in 1929, with the idea of bring to its visitors representative samples of the architecture of the different regions of Spain, presented together in the form of a village, conceived as a single unity. Actually it was prepared just for the time of the Exhibition but it still standing todays thanks to its success. There are buildings depicting monument of all the country, mixed in harmony and looking as if they were a real town. In addition they take into account the traditional plants of each region. There are lots of restaurants (we had supper in one of them) and handicraft shops, as well as some shows. If you join the enclosure later than 20:00 you'll pay half price.

    Uno de los lugares que disfruté particularmente fue el Pueblo Español. Se construyó para la Exposición Internacional de 1929, con la idea de llevar a sus visitantes ejemplos representativos de arquitectura de las diferentes regiones de España, presentadas juntas, como si de un sólo pueblo se tratase. Realmente se preparó sólo para la duración de la Exposición pero continua hoy en día gracias a su éxito. Hay edificios representando monumentos de todo el país, mezclados en armonía y pareciendo que son verdaderamente una sóla ciudad. Además tienen en cuenta las plantas tradicionales de cada región. Hay muchos restaurantes (cenamos en uno de ellos) y tiendas de artesanía, así como algunos espectáculos. Si entras en el recinto pasadas las 8 de la tarde pagarás la mitad de la entrada.

    Built between 1926 and 1929, the poble Espanyol ("Spanish Village") responds to the initial idea of bringing together in the form of a "village", conceived as a single unity, representative samples of the architecture of the various regions of Spain.

    Poble Espanyol (spanish people ) was build to give an idea to the tourists and visitors about the different architecture and life style of spanish people. This condensed spanish village gives us also some samples of different cultures and hand made art work of Spain. I suggest to have a look also the statues in the village.I think that the idea cames from USA because I saw also the same concept in a bigger scale ( because they have bigger land obviously ) in the museum of Ford in Detroit.

    A MUST

    Wow, so cute! Built as exhibition for Olympic Games, it is still worth walking through artificially constucted Spanish village. I loved shops, and did not find prices significantly more expensive than in downtown.

    During x-mas, tangerine-tree had actual fruits, but they did not taste as spanish mandarins from a supermarket :) Surprise, surprise!
