Port Olympic
|
The beaches of the Olympic village and the port area are probably the good and known of Barcelona. Directly by the sea, along the port in which many sail and engine ships are dropped to anchor, are many fish restaurants. There is one of the best restaurants of this type also. A walk is pleasant and stimulating at day and night.

Port Vell
|
The old industry port has been changed into a spare time domain on the occasion of the Olympic Games. One finds an Imax cinema, a remarkable aquarium,some purchase opportunities, and many restaurants. Everything is in a short distance to the Rambla. Therefore this area is one of the most frequented in Barcelona. The connection is created over a pretty bridge construction which consists of steel and wood and is embedded in the sea environment agreeably.
