With its four centuries of existence, it is
the oldest part of the Port of Barcelona, still in use. In recent years
it has been reinvented and has
become an emblematic space, a reference for locals and tourists. Here you can do almost everything:
walk, play sports, go shopping, eat at restaurants and hotels by the sea, visit museums, take a boat ride or a cablecar... And very close, the old and lively marine quarter, Barceloneta.
