An interesting visit will be to The National Museum of Art of Catalonia – El Poble Espanyol, a "Spanish village," that was built in 1929, for the Barcelona International Exhibition. (It is just above the other interesting place to visit: the German Pavilion by Mies van der Rohe built for the same exhibition).
Today, re-conceptualised as an open-air museum, it houses art and craft exhibits, and is one of very few monuments from this era still open to the public. There are 15 distinct architectural styles in the village, each an example of a region of Spain; from Andalucía to the Balearic Islands, Madrid to Basque country, which the architects, Ramon Reventós, and Francesc Folguera, and the artists Xavier Nogués and Miquel Utrillo, conceived after visiting 1600 towns and villages throughout the country during their research for the project. Today, there are some 40 workshops in operation, where visitors can experience a plethora of arts and crafts, as well as having a tour of architectural Spain.
