This roof-top retreat is a personal favourite. Relax by the small pool and enjoy a quiet restorative or snack. The bar opens from 18.00 till 01.00 during the week and till 02.00 at the weekends.

The venue for the diving events at the 1992 Olympics, the Piscina Municipal is set into the Montjuic hillside overlooking Barcelona, so you get unbeatable views of the city while you're sunbathing. There's a large swimming pool, a separate diving pool and a small bar. A short walk away is another pool complex, the Piscinas Bernat Picornell, which hosts naked nights and 'film & swim' evenings during the Grec festival (Jul-Aug). Both cost €5.30 for the day and are a great way to cool off from the heat of the city.
Piscina Municipal de Montjuic: opposite the Parc de Montjuic funicular station. Piscinas Bernat Picornell: further up the hill on Avinguda de l'Estadi, almost directly under the spiral white tower of the Torré Telefónica.
