"The “Magic Mountain”, as it’s often called, shows off plenty of skin in the warmer months as swimmers and sunbathers flock to the waters of its municipal pool. Built in 1929, refurbished for the 1955 Mediterranean Games and expanded for the 1992 Olympics, it attracts professional swimmers, divers and a parade of lithe bodies hoping to work on their tans. The music video for Kylie Minogue’s 2003 synth-pop hit “Slow” was filmed poolside, with the opening shot featuring a toned diver somersaulting into the still waters. It’s a popular spot so we can’t guarantee perfect calm – nor Kylie, for that matter."
