If you want to have a drink in the open, you can go to Cocteler\u00eda Torre Rosa, a charming bar that has a terrasse with centuries-old palms and a nice atmosphere. For a <strong>rooftop bar<\/strong> in the city centre, Sky Bar Plaza de Catalu\u00f1a is a good option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other place to take a glass is Bloody Mary Cocktail Lounge, where they prepare signature cocktails and tapas.
