Barcelona's funfair has been thrilling the citizens for over a century. The self-styled "magic mountain" is a mix of traditional rides and a few more high-tech attractions, laid out around several levels of the mountaintop, connected by landscaped paths and gardens. Some of the more famous attractions are grouped under the "Skywalk Promenade" ticket, including the aeroplane ride, a Barcelona institution that's been spinning since 1928, the carousel and the Museu d'Autòmates, a collection of coin-operated antique fairground machines in working order.
