Magical Montjuic Fountains Evening Picnic
This romantic date idea will help couples savor the beauty of Barcelona and their love for one another. Nestled just in front of the magical Montjuic fountains, you can enjoy an evening picnic while watching the fountain show, changing your simple evening into a magical one.
- Imagine this: As the sun sets, you'll spread out a picnic blanket right in front of the Montjuic Fountains. The air will be filled with anticipation and excitement as you and your partner open up a basket of treats. You'll toast with a bottle of inexpensive but delicious Cava.
- As dusk falls, the Magic Fountain will spring into life. The vibrantly illuminated waters dancing to the rhythm of music will magnify the romantic atmosphere. This isn’t just a picnic—it’s a memorable event.
- As the fountain show comes to an end, the two of you can take a leisurely stroll around the nearby Plaza Espana before heading home, bringing the memorable evening to a perfect conclusion.
Preparation steps:
- All you need for an evening picnic is a basket filled with your favorite tapas — cured meats, cheeses, olives, bread, etc. Don't forget a small blanket to sit on, glasses, and a bottle of Cava for the toast. Having a flashlight might come handy too. Pack all these items earlier in the day so when the time comes all you need to do is set off for Montjuic.
- You'll want to arrive early to find a good spot for the picnic as the area around the fountain gets busy. But don’t worry, the energy of the crowd will only elevate the atmosphere.
- It's worth checking the schedule for the fountain show online before setting off. The show usually begins after the sun has set and lasts for about a half hour, but specific times can vary.
Some tips:
- Remember to dress comfortably so you can enjoy sitting on the ground and walking around later. Always clean up after yourself – leave no trash behind and respect the environment.
- Although it's a public place, try to pick a somewhat quieter and more secluded spot for your picnic to give yourselves a sense of privacy. Still, being amidst other couples and family can certainly elevate the fun.
- While Cava is a popular choice for a picnic in Spain, non-alcoholic alternatives or local specialties could also be on your list if you have dietary preferences.
