In-Depth Information
Trendy and all-around beautiful, the broad avenues and contemporary-styled buildings
make this a pleasant place to visit and to live. There are a number of open green spaces,
ideal for enjoying a stroll or simply taking in the upbeat atmosphere.
Perhaps one of the best reasons for tourists to visit this suburb is to take in the picturesque
golden-sand seafront. Frank Gehry's iconic sculpture of a fish is another great landmark to
enjoy. Nearby Port Olímpic was once the site of water events during the games, but it is
now a marina that not only provides berths for small vessels, but also offers guests the abil-
ity to charter yachts for some time spent on the shimmering Mediterranean. With a number
of sailing schools, even novices can take to the sea.
Clubs, bars, and live music events also contribute towards making this a wonderful retreat
for every individual seeking an opportunity to take in the best of Barcelona.
