Port vell in Barcelona

Moll de Bosch i Alsina, 1, Ciutat Vella, 08039 Barcelona

Historic waterfront marina reborn from derelict docks into a promenade of masts, shops and an aquarium.

This guide to Port Vell in Barcelona starts on a dock that, for nearly a century, ordinary citizens weren't allowed to set foot on, walled off behind customs guards, cranes and railway yards. You'll hear how that changed in 1981, when architect Manuel de Sola-Morales was handed a strange job: deciding what a public harbor should even look like. Walk the water's edge and picture the gates that once stood here.
