Do you like ships or yachts? Port Vell is a good choice to watch all this during your stay in Barcelona

Mar 24, 2015
Today I will SHARE with you a place that I really love in Barcelona, it is the old port of Barcelona, called Port Vell. Actually I love all ports in Barcelona, mainly for the great number of ships and yachts, one more beautiful than other. 
Looking into wikipedia I found out, that this place was mainly prepared for the olympics in 1992, and from that year hosts almost 16 millions tourists each year. As before 1992, there were factories and nothing that will atract tourists. Nowadays there is a big comercial center Maremagnum, Aquarium (one of the largest in Europe) and other tourists atractions.
Being a mum I almost like or dislike places by space without cars, or places to play with kid. Even if there is a plenty of tourists everyday, any month of the year, you can enjoy the stay or walk there with your kid.

Here you can find various touristy places like:

– Mirador de Colom (Columbus Monument) – Columbust stays at the top of a column, with lions below, all the tourists make pictures here.

-Maritim Museum

-Las Golondrinas – a cruise around the harbour, we didn´t take it by the time, we think that Damian has to grow up for this outside activity. It´s about 40 minutes ride, where you can enjoy sighseeings of the harbour.

-Feed fishes – at the same place where you can take the cruise, there is a corner where a lot of people feed fishes, it is amazing how many fishes you will see there. After feeding the fishes take a walk through Rambla de Mar – it is a bridge that connect the waterfront with Maremagnum mall, as well this bridge swivels and rotates to let the yachts pass by, it is amazing how in such touristy place all this job is very organized.

-Maremagnum – a big commercial center with a lot of shops and really great restaurants, there are great views from the restaurant, just pick up a great sit.

-L´Aquarium – one of the largest aquarium in Europe, hosts more than 500 pieces of fish, sharks, dolphins, an small fishes. I am more than sure that you will enjoy the stay here and your kid even more.

I am sure that your toddler will like this place as much as you will do. Below some of amazing pictures that we took.
