This book is an invitation to get to know the rooftops of Barcelona, those flat roof so typical of the Mediterranean, which together make a very special urban expanse: open but at the same time intimate.

Rooftops which have made history, acted as a backdrop for conflicts, but also for illicit lover affairs; they can be supreme vantage points, luxuriant gardens, and also an everyday place for children's game, community gatherings and for hanging out the washing. Allof which make a good subject for literature, art and music: an entire world waiting to be discovered.
