At the pier, board your air-conditioned motor coach for a brief transfer to your musical destination, the Palau de la Musica.This concert hall is a high point of Barcelona&#39;s Modernista architecture, a symphony in tile, brick, sculpted stone, and stained glass. The palau, or palace, was built with the help of some of the best Catalan artisans of the time, Domenech i Montaner, for the Orfeo Catala musical society, and since 1990 it has undergone several significant changes. Like a peacock, the palau shows off much of its splendor on the outside. Take in the principal facade with its mosaics, floral capitals, and the sculpture cluster representing Catalan popular music. Wander to admire the spangled, tiled pillars in the foyer and restaurant areas. Best of all is the richly colorful auditorium upstairs, with its ceiling of blue-and-gold-stained glass and a shimmering skylight that looks like a giant, crystalline, downward-thrusting nipple. Above a bust of Beethoven on the stage towers a wind-blown sculpture of Wagner&#39;s Valkyries (Wagner was top of the Barcelona charts when the building was created). Still hard to understand, the original Modernista creation, now a World Heritage site, did not meet with universal approval in its day.Enjoy a treat for the senses during your exclusive visit as you witness a short musical concert.Finally, enjoy a glass of cava in this unique setting, before enjoying a guided walk through the old town.Once your visit is complete, reboard your motor coach for your return drive to the pier and your ship.
