Sea front ( Barceloneta, Port Olympic)
In 1992, with the Olympic Games, Barcelona opens to the sea and causes urban changes. The result is a success. The old industrial grounds are metamorphosed and a new district emerges : the Olympic Village. Its port invites to the movement, during the day as well as at night : water sports, discotheques, bars. It is always in effervescence. Just next to it we can find Barceloneta, small Barcelona, the traditional district for sailors and fishermen. Mediterranean colours and delicious restaurants are in the menu. It is an obligatory passage before going to the beach.
