13 Things to Do With Kids in Barcelona | Condé Nast Traveler

"The inspiration for Disneyland theme parks, at least according to former Disney CEO Michael Eisner, Poble Espanyol is like a movie set of Spanish life. Outside its medieval gate at the foot of Montjüic, you’re firmly in Catalunya. Once inside, convincing mock-ups of streets from different Spanish regions—from lively, musical Andalucía in the south to foodie Galicia in the northwest—show off the architecture, crafts, and victuals of the country as a whole. “Poble” is Spanish for "town," but this feels like an entire nation rendered in village form. Visit in the evening and you’re also a quarter-mile away from one of Barcelona’s other visual treats, the Magic Fountain (Font Màgica)." - Gemma Askham
