... because I think I found the rooftop with the most spectacular view...

... Hotel Majestic has a view from Montjuic to Tibidabo, almost 360° including Gaudi's Casa Battlo and Sagrada Familia. The sea, the cathedrals, the Torre Agbar, the Olympic Stadium, it is a beautiful terrace with a breathtaking view.  It could be the most spectacular... but there are still a few more to see.

...because..OMM...it is time for another roof terrace...

Hotel OMM has one amazing view of Barcelona, overlooking the iconic rooftop of La Pedrera by Gaudi, which is only one block away. Plus a distant view of his Sagrada Familia. It is worth the visit just to see the unique aspect of these great symbolic works (whilst enjoying a glass of spanish wine).

...because of the golden Fountain at Parc Ciutadella...

The Cascada, is the aquatic oasis in Parc de Ciutadella (10 May 2012), (designed by Josep Fontsére (who at this time had architecture student Antoni Gaudi working in his office). It was completed in 1888 and displayed at the Universal Exhibition of that year.
