Font de Canaletes

  • Address: Top of Rambla, Rambla, Barcelona, Catalonia | Map It

Fodor's Review:

This fountain is a key spot in Barcelona, being the place where all great sports victories are celebrated by jubilant (and often unruly) Barça fans. It was originally known for the best water in Barcelona, brought in by canaletes (small canals) from the mountains. The bronze plaque on the pavement in front of the fountain explains in Catalan that if you drink from these waters, you will fall under Barcelona's spell and forever return. so beware.
