King Alfonso XIII strolls through the newly constructed “Spanish Village.” He marvels at the meticulous recreation of Spain’s architectural gems. Poble Espanyol isn’t just a museum. It is a living, breathing tapestry woven from the threads of 15 Spanish regions. Commissioned by architect Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Poble Espanyol was meant to be a temporary exhibit. Its creators, Francesc Folguera, Ramon Reventós, Xavier Nogués, and Miquel Utrillo, journeyed across Spain. They captured the soul of each region. They meticulously documented architectural styles.
