Rooftop terraces are an ideal complement to the long Spanish afternoons enjoyed in Spain during the spring and summer and at Destinia, we are all about them! Imagine an afternoon with friends: it’s getting dark and the ambiance of a rooftop terrace could be either elegant or informal, modern or vintage, and where you can try a new cocktail or have a favorite beer, with good music and the best views. Could you ask for anything more as you start off a warm summer night?
