The fountain was build as part of the Universal Exposition, held in 1929, and is a water fountain which "dances" to music. There are various "shows" which last around 20 minutes, and have different music (sometimes strange choices - the Barcelona song made famous by Freddie Mercury and Montserrat Caballé and Celine Dion's my heart will go on?!). It's a great way to spend an evening in the summer, for example, and there are often fire jugglers between performances and things like this. I always feel like a little kid when I go and see them!
For times and other information, see the city's official website here.
Comments welcome as always guys, and for more information on Barcelona, see this great Barcelona Guide. Also, for your accomodation needs, I reccomend trying apartments for groups in Barcelona as a great alternative to hostal bunk beds.

We found our information on your blog !
Hello,
Allow me to present myself: I am Cindy, information manager for the French travel guide collection: Seriousguide.
Seriousguide are collaborative travel guides, indeed the information they provide comes from personal travellers experiences related on our website: www.seriousguide.fr
We recently published our first issue: the Andalusia Seriousguide. We are now working on travel guides about Morocco and Barcelona.
Our website is opened and travels published by Internet users represent an essential information for our printed guides.
However, we also notice interesting contains from others blogs, like yours.
That’s why we pre-select the bar la Oveja negra, and Montjuïc, with its park and its fountain that you seemed to have enjoy a lot. So we sent one of our correspondents on these spots to check out every detail we needed to publish these activities in our Barcelona Seriousguide.
If we decide to keep these informations for our guide, we would like to quote your pseudonym as our first source for these activities.
I want to emphasis on the fact that we are not going to use the text you wrote for your blog, but we want to mention you since it’s thanks to you that we found this interesting information.
If you agree, could you please send me your answer by email at the following address: documentation[at]seriousguide.fr?
You can also create your profile on www.seriousguide.fr in order to describe your travels and be informed about our publications.
Best regards,
Cindy
