Have a Magic Moment at the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc

1/13/2020

0 Comments

 
The Magic Fountain was designed by Carles Buïgas in 1928 for the 1929 Universal Exposition. The fountain uses 3620 jets and over 700 gallons of water to create an impressive visual show. The display times vary based on the time of year. If you're in Barcelona between March and early January be sure to check out the display.

You can check the days and times here.

History

It took just 1 year to complete Buïgas' ambitious project. Over 3000 workers were used to get the fountain ready in time for the Universal Exposition. The first show debuted just one day before the start of the Expo. In the 1980's, music was added to the show to enhance the performance.

Track Your Outdoor Adventure Travels in Utah

1/8/2020

One of Duckwyn's passions is hitting the mountains hard. It doesn't matter if it's skiing or snowboarding, he just wants to ride some soft powder. If everything goes well, he'll be carving some turns in Utah next week.

In honor of Duckwyn's love for the mountains, we now have mountain destinations for you to collect. Starting today, you can stamp your passport book when you visit Deer Valley, Brighton, Solitude, Alta, and Snowbird. Even better, when you reach each resorts highest peak, there is a virtual coin for you to collect too. 

Get out, enjoy the winter, and take your Duckwyn app with you. We'll have more mountain resorts coming soon.
