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.
