Thus, countless cultural and recreational events were held each day: folk festivals with dances, regional dances, open-air dances, pageants and even horse-riding competitions. This &#8220;typical Spanish village&#8221; was one of the main attractions of the Exposition. It was such a success that in the end the decision was taken not to demolish it, as had initially been planned.<\/span>[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;3&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h5&#8243;

It was in this context that Barcelona City Council decided to promote Poble Espanyol as &#8220;a centre for cultural, leisure and commercial activities and to enhance its appeal as a tourist site and artisanal market&#8221;. The time had come for real change, starting with the privatisation of the management of the venue. A project was carried out to restore the original buildings and create a leisure area, a gastronomy area and a service area, as well as significant night-time activities. This relaunch quickly translated into increased numbers: in 1987, 600,000 people visited the Poble and just two years later that figure rose to almost a million. However, despite the positive results in the short term, the Poble continued to accumulate significant losses.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_button size=&#8221;link&#8221; btn_link_size=&#8221;fontsize-847074&#8243; custom_typo=&#8221;yes&#8221; font_family=&#8221;font-875416&#8243; font_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; link=&#8221;url:%23&#8243; el_class=&#8221;links&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;886527&#8243;][\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;787173&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_separator sep_color=&#8221;color-770920&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;2&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;167116&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_horizontal=&#8221;left&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;2&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;7&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading text_color=&#8221;color-107789&#8243; text_font=&#8221;font-643449&#8243; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-495345&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-159127&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;136767&#8243; text_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;]THE RENAISSANCE AND A NEW LOOK TOWARDS THE FUTURE[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; position_horizontal=&#8221;left&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;4&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;7&#8243; width=&#8221;2\/4&#8243;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;p&#8221; text_font=&#8221;font-875416&#8243; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-495345&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-206872&#8243; el_class=&#8221;tabletTipografia&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;218072&#8243;]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In order to leave the financial difficulties well and truly behind, a group of businessmen, who could see the venue&#8217;s potential, decided to take over its management in 1996.

In 2016, the venue was further adapted to meet the changing demands of visitors and the times, making use of the latest technologies to increase its cultural content.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 2020, the venue was dealt a new blow, perhaps the least expected of all. The Covid-19 pandemic forced the Poble to close its doors for three months. This period was used to reassess the objectives and the role of the Poble in the face of this unprecedented situation and confronted with a completely new set of circumstances, full of uncertainty but at the same time, full of hope. On the 11th of June 2020, the venue reopened its doors and established itself as one of the facilities in Barcelona that provides the most activities for local residents. Since that date, the Poble has not stopped working and has embarked on a new course: no longer would it target tourists on the one hand and locals on the other; instead, it would provide cultural and leisure experiences suitable for all audiences in a historic venue, unique in Barcelona.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;3&#8243; mobile_visibility=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=&#8221;h5&#8243; text_font=&#8221;font-875416&#8243; text_size=&#8221;fontsize-847074&#8243; text_weight=&#8221;400&#8243; text_height=&#8221;fontheight-209733&#8243; text_space=&#8221;fontspace-266081&#8243; el_class=&#8221;links&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;138940&#8243;][\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_right&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; expand_height=&#8221;yes&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;2&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;7&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;109813&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; media_ratio=&#8221;one-one&#8221; advanced=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_overlay_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; media_overlay_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; media_text_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; media_image_anim=&#8221;no&#8221; media_padding=&#8221;5&#8243; el_class=&#8221;arc-radius&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;925083&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][uncode_block id=&#8221;90044&#8243;][uncode_block id=&#8221;90044&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recinto que concentra la esencia arquitect\u00f3nica y cultural y la historia de Espa\u00f1a para impresionar a los visitantes de la Exposici\u00f3n 1929.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":109819,"parent":109691,"menu_order":146,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-109825","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","page_category-poble-espanyol-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/109825","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=109825"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/109825\/revisions"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/109691"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/109819"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/poble-espanyol.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=109825"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
