THE VISIT

El Poble Espanyol is an area of architectural interest in the City of Barcelona. A tour here fosters a meeting point with history and the mark it has made on popular architecture throughout the Spanish state. Conceived as a real "village”, one can take a look at its plazas and streets, and thoroughly study the world of arts and crafts in the more than 40 craft workshops that are permanently installed here. One can also get to know the private contemporary art collection of the Fran Daurel Foundation, with over 300 works of art, amongst which stands out an extensive sculptural garden with 27 pieces.
It must be mentioned that the crafts from the Village El Poble Espanyol make it an ideal place for purchasing "original" and exclusive items, which set it apart from the normal circuits of standard souvenir shopping.
