The Poble Espanyol was built on Montjuïc Mountain in 1929 on the occasion of the Barcelona International Exhibition. It had a clear objective: to construct an enclosure that would reflect the essence of Poble Espanyol. To achieve this, the architects and designers of the space visited over 1.600 Spanish localities to capture the most emblematic elements of national architecture. It was here, in our Andalusian courtyard, formerly known as the Patio del Farolillo of the Poble Espanyol, where Carmen Amaya and her family danced for King Alfonso XIII during the Exhibition.
Despite the organizations initial intention to demolish it after the Exhibition, the creators conceived it as a long-term project, and its success among visitors was such that it was decided not to tear it down. Although this tourist attraction has endured difficult periods such as the Spanish Civil War (1936 - 1939) or the COVID-19 pandemic (2020), the Poble Espanyol has managed to revitalize itself and to this day, it continues to fulfill its purpose of hosting the festive and cultural spirit of our country.
