THURSDAY MAY 22, 2008
No Jacket Required
Ignore the TV. Contrary to what the forecast says, it's now summer. The bells that ring in the change of season are chiming from Poble Espanyol.

Yes, tomorrow begins the pilgrimage of tourists, shade-wearing cool kids and pill-pushers up Montjuïc, to show off their new kicks at La Terrrazza. Count on the attendance of those who are trying their luck with the door bitches for the first time, and of those who seek to relive the highs from those mythical early years - which seem more distant with each season.

If you actually remember those early years, it may be time to try the alternatives: Stretch out on the grass and cushions in the gardens of Princesa Sofia's Aqua Chill Out; pose with a V&T in hand at the top of Pulitzer. Or at Axel's Skybar, which will soon extend its hours to Saturday, too.

But hurry if you want to partake in the exhibitionism up there at Poble Espanyol. Before you know it, the neighbours will have complained again and the inspectors will move in and try their NO FUN best to locate stray decibels.

La Terrrazza, Poble Espanyol - opening tomorrow May 23
Aqua Chill Out, Hotel Princess Sofía, Pious Plaza XII, 4 - daily 20-24h (Sat until 02h)
Visit Up Hotel Pulitzer, Bergara 8 - daily 18-24h (Thu-Sat until 02h)
Skybar Hotel Axel, Aribau 33 - open for non-guests Wed and Sat from June
