Poble Espanyol

"1929. Barcelona International Exhibition. In this context it was decided to build the Poble Espanyol on Montjuïc, as a synthesis of Spanish architecture, craftsmanship and cultural wealth. Architects Ramon Reventós and Francesc Folguera and artists Xavier Nogués and Miquel Utrillo embarked on a long and exciting journey by car visiting more than 1,600 towns and villages to take hundreds of photographs and taking notes to design an authentic city with its streets, squares, churches and other sites. Curiosity offered by @arkitektoursbarcelona : the Casa Son Berga, originally from the Balearic Islands (therefore not reachable by land), was designed based on a photo and due to the photographic printing process of the time the building was yellowish but in reality it is not: that's why the reproduction in the Poble Espanyol is (mistakenly) yellow"

"Near Montjuic, this little Spanish village represents different places in Spain. It is a fun activity for all the family."
