This incredible building hosts El Palau de la Musica Catalana, where you can assist to diverse concerts and espectacles. The acustic is not good...but who cares that much? Many go to a concert just to have an excuse to enter and visit the theater!

We visited the Palace of Catalan Music on May 22 to watch a performance by guitarist Ekaterina Zaytseva. The doors opened about 30 minutes before showtime and I have never seen more people rushing around taking pictures at any musical event I have been to in my life. The reason, of course, is the stunning architecture of this building. It... More

We saw a show in the music palace - wow!! This was one of the most beautiful buildings we have ever seen. The acousics in the hall were also very good. My husband is a retired sound engineer and he also really loved the Spanish guitar concert we saw. Highly recommended!

Gaudi was not the only Modernist architect working in Barcelona. Domenech i Montaner designed this lovely venue which is worth a visit. You can see the outside and entry level of the building for free, but you need to pay for a guided tour to see other parts of the building, in particular the auditorium with beautiful stained glass.

Saw the Flamenco show, excellent evening. I was expecting it to be longer, however it was well worth the money and a great way to end our week in Barcelona.

Impressive and worth the time and price to visit. I took a tour and it was worth it. Tours only go from 10-330 ish, so be sure to get in in the morning or plan around it. The stained glass, acoustics, and architecture are incredible. It's such a shame it's on the narrower streets of Barcelona, because it's hard to... More
