Evening Social event

Visit the Secret Pedrera

The magic of the night

When Antoni Gaudí was at the peak of his career, he designed La Pedrera, his last residential building. This is one of his most innovative landmarks and has become a work of art in its own right. The Casa Milà, popularly known as La Pedrera (Catalan for quarry), is a unique building designed by Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926) and built between 1906 and 1912. It was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1984.

Secret Pedrera

We will have a wonderful dinner there after the visit - it is working distance from the hotel which is just in the very center of Barcelona.
