In the city of canals that is what is called Venice, surely you know that there is one that takes the leading role in front of everyone else.
This is the Grand Canal, which will become one of the neuralgic centers of your trip to Venice.
With its inverted S shape, the Grand Canal crosses the city of Venice, dividing it into two parts, and from it the whole network of channels of the Italian city is structured, being the most important those of Regio and Cannaregio.
With a length of about four kilometers, and a width varying, depending on the zones, between 30 and 70 meters, the Grand Canal of Venice is currently crossed by four bridges.

CANAL OF EBRO
The Ebro Delta is the wettest area of the Catalan lands. It constitutes the most important aquatic habitat of the western Mediterranean, after the Camargue (French Regional Park), and the second of the Spanish State, after the National Park of Doñana.
At the request of Deltebre, the Generalitat de Catalunya created, by a decree of 1983, the Natural Park of the Ebro Delta, where it is stated that the Ebro Delta is the first wetland in Catalonia with international importance, recognized by The highest specialized agencies. Already in 1962 it was included in the classification of the Euro-African moist zones of international interest elaborated by MAR Bureau with category A (urgent priority).
The Natural Park of Delta del Ebro has a total area of 7,736 ha. The lagoons of the Vell, Garxal, Alfacada, Platjola, Encierro and Encañizada, the islands of Buda, Sant Antoni i Sapinya, the peninsulas of the Punta del Cuerno (the Alfaques) and the Fangar , The ullals of Baltasar and the paramos of Casablanca.
In the landscape of the delta we find totally flat lands that give it a peculiar and unique aspect in Catalonia. In the interior we find the extensive rice fields, changing according to the seasons (earthy in winter, flooded with water in spring, green in summer). On the coast we find one of the most attractive lake landscapes of the Mediterranean, large ponds bordered by canyissars and Jonqueres. On the outskirts, saline soles with cirialeres, marine rushes and faces the long and deserted sandy beaches, with dunes and other samples of vegetation, well adapted in the middle.

The inauguration of the magic fountain of Montjuïc took place the 19 of May of 1929, during the International Exhibition of Barcelona. The designer Carles Buigas sent the plans a year before the exhibition and many thought that the project was too ambitious to be created and many less believed that it would be finished by the date the Exhibition began.
Location of magic fountain to the nearest metro stop.
More than 3000 workers were in charge of the project and, after less than a year, the magic source was finished.
The magic fountain is a spectacular display of color, light, movement, music and aquatic acrobatics. If you mix all these elements and combine them correctly you get pure magic! The magic fountain is a must-see and highly recommended if you come to Barcelona.
