The Montjuic Communications Tower (Torre Telefónica) is a telecommunication tower in the Montjuïc neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain. Designed by Santiago Calatrava, construction on the tower began in 1989 and was completed in 1992. The white tower was built for Telefónica to transmit television coverage of the 1992 Summer Olympics Games in Barcelona. The 136 m (446 ft) tower is located in the Olympic park, and represents an athlete holding the Olympic Flame.

Estadi Olímpic Lluís Companys (formerly known as the Estadi Olímpic de Montjuïc) is a stadium in Barcelona, Spain. Originally built in 1927 for the 1929 International Exposition in the city (and Barcelona's bid for the 1936 Summer Olympics, which were awarded to Berlin), it was renovated in 1989 to be the main stadium for the 1992 Summer Olympics.[1] The stadium has a capacity of 55,926 (70,000 during the 1992 Olympics), and is located in the Anella Olímpica, in Montjuïc, a large hill to the southwest of the city which overlooks the harbour.
In 2001 the stadium was renamed after the former president of the Generalitat de Catalunya Lluís Companys i Jover, who was executed at the nearby Montjuïc Castle in 1940 by the Franco regime.

MAU MAU BAR

Mau Mau is situated nearby Sala Apolo, Barcelona’s principal music venue. As such, it commonly serves as a pre-club or post-gig drinking destination. A converted warehouse space, a sophisticated feel now enlivens its interior with striking graphics and myriad projections decorating the walls.

Seating is comfortable, which is fortuitous, seeing as how regular film screenings draw crowds to sink into the cushions and sip on spirits while enjoying the show. On other nights, expect to hear funky jazz and house music from resident mixer, DJ Wakanda.

Yearly membership providing free entry at all times costs €6, and includes reduced tickets for Thursday 'Powder Room' Sessions at the Apolo.

APOLO

www.sala-apolo.com

Apolo is arguably Barcelona’s premier music venue. Incorporating two concert, club and cinema spaces, it hosts a wealth of visiting talent and has amassed a dedicated following for its regular club nights.

Live acts have included performances by Silver Apples, Cinematic Orchestra, MV & EE and Les Aus, variously reflecting a flare for past greats, experimental music and cutting edge local or international artists.

Club nights are revered by Barcelona’s rhythm hungry night owls, such as Wednesday night’s “Mundo Canibal” (tunes by reggae greats past and present, drum n bass and mestizo), Thursday night’s “Powder Room” (funk, soul and R&B) and Friday and Saturday’s “Nitsa” session (electronica). Apolo offers something for every breed of music enthusiast.

It also gets really crowded on Mondays (Rock, Pop, indie, Garage, 80’s and Electro Rock) and Tuesdays and Thursdays (indie and Electro Pop).
