Lonely Planet review

The spectacular Es Baluard (Museu d'Art Modern i Contemporani) takes the grand Renaissance-era seaward fortifications as its setting. A 21st-century concrete complex has been built into the walls, and is a playful game of light, surfaces and perspective - the perfect framework for this major exhibition of contemporary artists from Spain and beyond. On show are items from many of the great names, from local boy Miquel Barceló through to Kandinsky.

Ceramics by Picasso, notes and sketches by Miró and sculptures by the late Basque master Jorge Oteiza await discovery. The views from the ramparts are splendid, and the restaurant is one of the city's best.
