You can translate it as "Spanish Village", and that is precisely what Poble Espanyol is: a unique recreated village with a main square, several smaller squares, and streets filled with traditional houses –scale recreations of 117 buildings– showcasing various styles of Spanish architecture: Romanesque, Gothic, Mudejar, Renaissance, Baroque, and more. There are also gardens, fountains, medieval walls... Can you imagine a more complete and unique "trip"?
