Del 31 de octubre al 3 de noviembre fue el salón del manga de Barcelona. La cita “jotaka” más importante de la llamada península ibérica, y yo no podía faltar a la cita. Un trozo de Japón que he podido experimentar en mis capas antes de poder conocer la cultura nipona de primera mano.

Spanish Cities 3.3.4

Barcelona 3.3.4 -- random walks through the city: Ciutadella, Sants, Montjuic, Poble Sec, Plaza de España

A lot of the most interesting buildings in Barcelona were built as part of international expositions, and most recently, the 1992 Summer Olympics. In 1888 Barcelona hosted the Universal Exhibition and this Arc de Triomf was built as the gateway to the fair which was held in the Parc de la Ciutadella, just beyond.

This enormous glorious fountain (with many DUCKS) -- called the Cascada Monumental -- is in the Parc de la Ciutadella. This park has a long and dramatic history. The area was once a crowded residential district called La Ribera. After the complicated War of the Spanish Succession in 1714 (a sort of practice world war of Europe) the Spanish government wanted to punish the rebellious Catalans, and so razed most of La Ribera, evicting the residents to the new neighborhood of Barceloneta (on a sandy spit by the shore used by fishermen) and building a huge fortress (citadel = ciutadella) to keep an eye on the angry locals. Over 100 years later, the hated citadel was finally razed and in 1869 the area was turned over to the city and the large green park was created. The fountain was designed by Josep Fontsére and to a small extent by Antoni Gaudí, who at that time was still an unknown student of architecture.

It is next to the park's bandstand, Glorieta de la Transsexual Sònia, dedicated to a transsexual woman, Sonia Rescalvo Zafra, who was murdered there on 6 October 1991 by right-wing extremists.

Back up in the Eixample, here's a view of the steeples of La Sagrada Familia from a few blocks away. When they are finished, according to Gaudi's intended design, there will be 18 steeples.

Here is Las Arenas, on the Plaza d'España near the Sant neighborhood. This former bullfight stadium is now a mall. Note the Moorish arches.

The Venetian Towers (in Catalan: Torres Venecianes) is the popular name for a pair of towers on Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina at its junction with Plaça d'Espanya. Built for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition they served an ornamental function, to mark the entrance to the exhibition district, now known as Fira de Barcelona, and the start of the grand avenue leading up to the Palau Nacional on Montjuïc, which houses the National Art Museum of Catalonia (MNAC). Like the Palace of Fine Art in San Francisco, they were built of cheap materials with the understanding that they would be destroyed after the exposition. But they public liked them so they were renovated and preserved, but still generally not open to the public.

The Magic Fountain of Montjuïc (Catalan: Font màgica de Montjuïc) is a located at the head of Avinguda Maria Cristina in Montjuïc below the Palau Nacional on the Montjuïc mountain and near the Plaça d'Espanya. The fountain, like most of the surrounding developments, was constructed for the 1929 Barcelona International Exposition. At night it has colored lights and dancing waters set to music.

The Four Columns ("Les Quatre Columnes" in Catalan) are four Ionic columns originally created by Josep Puig i Cadafalch in Barcelona, Spain. They were erected in 1919, where the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc now stands.

They symbolized the four stripes of the Catalan flag, and they were intended to become one of the main icons of Catalanism. Because of this, they were demolished in 1928 during Primo de Rivera's dictatorship, when all public Catalanist symbols were systematically removed in order to avoid their being noticed during the 1929 Universal Exposition, which was to take place on Montjuïc.

After eight years of campaigning by Catalanist civic bodies and the pro-independence political party Esquerra Republicana, a replica of the columns was erected in 2010 very close to the original site and following Puig i Cadafalch's original plans.

The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya, abbreviated as MNAC, is the national museum of Catalan visual art. Situated on Montjuïc hill at the end of Avinguda de la Reina Maria Cristina, the museum is notable for its outstanding collection of romanesque church paintings, and for Catalan art and design from the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Excellent view from the front of the MNAC of the Firs de Barcelona, the 4 columns, the Venetian Towers, the Las Arenas mall and the city beyond up the the Collserola mountain range.
