Was in BCN in April -- stayed at the Barcelona Arts -- could not believe that it's the tallest in Spain?! Loved seeing Agbar from various points in the city -- so beautiful to look at both Agbar and Sagrada familia from the top of Casa Mila... they compliment one another perfectly.

The current tallest building in Spain is "Hotel Bali" in Benidorm with 170m aproximately.

Wow what a tower. I was already of this tower but didn't realise that it had been completed. It's an instant landmark and something for Spaniards to be proud off.

Looking at the first selection of pictures, I thought they were just renderings. That's the effect of the glass and colour! I can't wait to see this in the flesh.

Will Madrid be trying to build something to compete now?

Madrid is building 4x225m+ towers to be completed in less than two years.

144 m? How many storeys is that ? I'd say about 35-40... am I correct?
Anyway, every building under 50 storeys shouldn't be called skyscraper in my opinion. This is just a"tower". Pity for Barcelona, I think this city has a great potential, but this tower... sorry I can't help it.

A truly world class building that sets the standard(alongside the Swiss-re in London).How some people don't like it is beyond me.
The only problem i find is where it's at.It looks like it's in no mans land.With the cathedral near by it looks so out of place.Barcelona should have created a cluster a few kms away from the old part of the city,with nothing but modern skyscrapers.Like they seem to be doing in Madrid.In this sense i think Barcelona is comparable to London.Where although some truly grand scrapers are going up.They seem to be putting them all over the place.
I really like the way Madrid has it's skyscrapers in certain clusters away from the old part of the city.It seems as though the great city planners have abandoned Barcelona and have left for Madrid.

the agbar tower is in fact far enough from the old quarter. When i took the picture from the montjuic mountain, i used a 12x zoom so the tower seems placed just by the cathedral. There are three future clusters of new towers in barcelona and all of them are placed far away from the old city ;)

And this skyscraper looks HORRIBLE in the Barcelona skyline, doen't fit in at all. Maybe it would've looked better in NYC, Honk Kong....but not Barcelona.

Beautifull Tower!!!!!! It looks a lot like the St Mary Axe in london.
