For those interested in going to the Magic Fountains on Friday night, June 14th, the 9:00 PM show is Remix Disney.
Here are the rest of the shows.
From the Renaissance Barcelona, we will take the metro, L3, from the Passeig de Garcia station to the Placa Espanya station. Here's the
metro map online. The nearest metro stop to the hotel is the Passeig de Garcia where lines 3 and 4 meet. And while I'm at it, here's
info about fares. It seems that because the route is all within Zone 1 that we can use a T10 card for 9,80 Euro for our family (and have two uses left over) rather than paying 2 euro per person each way (which would be 16 euro round trip for the 4 of us). The T10 card gives you 10 uses and can be shared among your group, so you just have to be careful putting it in and out of the machine.
It looks like we should allow about 30-45 minutes to get there with plenty of tie to spary (it may be pretty busy) from the hotel to include time to walk to the metro stop (which is very close to the hotel), purchase required metro tix (we may go get ours earlier in the day), getting to the stop, and then walking to the fountains from the metro stop, so I'd say if we leave the Renaissance Barcelona no later than 8:00 pm, we should be there in plenty of time for the Remix Disney show at 9:00 PM. It looks like the next performance starts at 9:17 PM so we can still be back to our respective hotels and apartments before we turn into pumpkins ala Cinderella's coach.
So does that sound like a good plan, or does someone have other suggestions (I'm open, I had originally planned to just ask the concierge at the hotel for the best way to do it but tonight I was working on our Barcelona details and had the Streetwise Map out and saw how easy it looked). Feel free to jump in with your experience or other information we may have overlooked. Can't wait to be there next week!!!!
