They should have better signals to get there, but if you can make it to take the elevator -the glass walls one, at the back of the building, but ask for directions at the main entrance, "informes" (information) desk. The terrace is big enough and proves you with an (almost) 360 vie rom the old town and port to the East of the city with most of the landmarks reachable from this panorama view.
