ITINERARY
We will leave the port olimpic of Barcelona towards the sea to take out the sails and set course to the destination that we choose together with the client. Depending on the weather, the direction of the wind and the sea, it will be advantageous one course or another. If we choose northeast, we can navigate along the coast enjoying the wonderful skyline of the city of Barcelona from the Barceloneta neighborhood, passing through the Vila Olímpica, Bogatell beach, Mar Bella, Diagonal Mar, Port Forum to the beautiful beach of Badalona where if the weather allows it and customers like it, we can anchor to take a dip.
Then we will serve a delicious appetizer (fuet, cheese, nuts, chips, etc.) and drinks (cava, sangría of cava, beer, soft drinks, water, etc) to enjoy the rest of the trip to the port olimpic.

WHAT WILL YOU SEE
Barcelona has always been closely linked to the sea, but until the 1992 Olympics it had almost always been under a working or industrial environment. Many citizens were fishermen or worked in the factories that flooded Poblenou (Pueblo Nuevo) and entire neighbourhoods such as La Ribera fed these factories with labour. Much earlier, in the 14th century, the construction of the Basilica of Santa María del Mar, a jewel of Catalan Gothic, was begun.
The urban revolution of the pre-Olympic years erased with the stroke of a pen that industrial Barcelona, grey and full of chimneys to make way for a Barcelona full of light and life, open to the sea and inviting all its citizens and visitors to enjoy the Mare Nostrum.
The maritime Barcelona could start in the statue of Colon, in the Portal de la Pau (Portal of Peace) at the end of the Ramblas, one of Barcelona’s mythical streets. A new leisure-commercial complex known as Maremagnum that includes the Barcelona Aquarium and that integrates perfectly into the Port Vell (Old Port).
La Barceloneta is an authentic fishing village where you can eat good fresh fish and shortly after the result of the Olympic reform appears, the new Poblenou free of factories and huts and now converted into a sea of skaters, cyclists, runners, terraces, restaurants, beach bars, and the omnipresent Mediterranean.
The two almost twin skyscrapers are symbols of the new Barcelona. The Arts hotel and the Mapfre building are the guardians of the new Barcelona.
No matter how much time you spend, no matter how many times you’ve been there, Barcelona always surprises you. You will always discover a new landscape, a charming hidden corner to lose you in, but above all, Barcelona will not leave you indifferent and will never stop falling in love with you.
