Here you will discover Gaudi’s famous terrace with its wild ornamentation and panoramic view of Barcelona, whilst being serenaded by live music. In summer, enjoy the Noches de verano when La Pedrera provides a magnificent setting for live jazz performances. At any time of year, you can choose the combined day and night tour, and appreciate the changing aspects of Gaudi’s masterpiece.
