Casa Milà photography tips (Instagram-worthy spots)

• Book the first hour for clean shots of La Pedrera or sunset for dreamy golden light. Rooftop and courtyards look best then. Clean your lens before climbing up—the wind brings dust.
  
• Tripods aren’t allowed, so bring a mini clamp or steady your phone on a railing or bench. Turn on your grid and use AE/AF lock on the sky for balanced exposure.
  
• Best facade shot? Cross to the opposite corner of Passeig de Gràcia and Carrer de Provença. Use the pedestrian island to dodge lampposts and wait for buses to clear. After rain, find puddles by the bus stop or create one for reflections. For blue hour, rest your phone on a bollard and use Live Photo → Long Exposure for dreamy light trails.
  
• The two courtyards catch different light—late morning for Provença side, mid-afternoon for Passeig. Get the iconic “look-up” shot from the center with a square crop. For perfect symmetry, place your phone flat on the floor with a timer (ask staff first).
  
• In the attic, vertical panoramas capture the ribcage arches beautifully. For depth, have a friend stand under the third arch. Monochrome with a bit of grain works wonders here.
  
• On the rooftop, align a helmeted chimney with Sagrada Família peeking through two shapes. At sunset, focus on stair turret shadows for texture. For portraits, have your subject stand a step below a chimney to hide safety rails—35–50mm lenses flatter faces. Windy day? Tuck hair under a scarf.
  
• At night, lock exposure on the brightest rooftop projection and lower it slightly. Use Night Mode and brace your phone. After your visit, step outside for a stunning cobalt-blue facade shot.
  
• Use Live Photo or short videos to choose crowd-free frames. If it’s packed, shoot from waist height to hide people behind railings. Rooftop stone gets hot—carry a scarf for seated shots. Wind tunnels? Secure loose hats and straps.
