Sea, mountains and gardens blend together in a new space that is committed to traditional recipes, local produce and a ground-breaking format.
Rice cooked with the power and aroma of their selected woods, fish and seafood fresh from the docks, great dishes that are the legacy passed down from fishing cultures… In a modern environment, evocative of Mediterranean fishing villages, but elegant and with the rumble of the bay of Cadaqués in the background.

La Terrrazza is an open-air club on the mountain of Montjuic in Barcelona. The venue prides itself on its décor, reflected in its location in an historic part of town. The unfortunate flipside of this is that sound restrictions are very often put in place.
La Terrrazza is open for the summer season—May through until September—and is a focal point during the annual Sonar festival, with London promoters Secretsundaze traditionally staging events there, as well as follow-up parties later in the summer. Musically speaking, house and techno are the main genres pushed at the club.
