6 th July: The Velvet Candles
Barcelona doo-wop group, the a cappella variation on rhythm and blues which was highly popular in the ‘50s and ‘60s.
It is, to plagiarise the Bard, a midsummer night’s dream. Once reserved for a privileged few, the experience of being on Gaudí’s unique rooftop terrace while watching live music and observing the panoramic views of Barcelona as the cool evening breeze slowly defeats the heat of the day is truly memorable. And it needn’t be just a dream thanks to the Evenings at the Palau Güell cycle of concerts, which will take place every Thursday from 6 th July until 17 th August 2017. If the music alone is not enough to tempt you, before the first chord has even been struck the events offer an express visit to one of the most important spaces in this World Heritage Site situated on Carrer Nou de la Rambla. Plus, this enchanted evening will end with a glass of cava and modest appetisers.
All that remains is to explain which groups you can enjoy this summer on the Modernist terrace, set among the first chimneys which Gaudí conceived as architectural sculptures.
