Come especially for the walk and the views of the port, not just for shopping.

The late afternoon is particularly pleasant: cross the Rambla de Mar, stroll around Moll d’Espanya, then stay until sunset before dining on-site or in Barceloneta.

Why Go

Why Visit Moll d’Espanya?

The Moll d’Espanya is one of the best places to experience the transformation of Barcelona's old port into a space for walking and leisure.

Visitors come here to stroll by the water, watch the boats, relax in the sun, visit the Aquarium, or head to the Maremagnum.

The Voramoll, located on the edge of the Moll d’Espanya, is particularly pleasant with its benches and views of Barceloneta, Marina Port Vell, and Moll dels Pescadors.

The Maremagnum is one of the few large shopping areas in the center of Barcelona open every day, including Sundays.

Today, it hosts several dozen shops and restaurants, featuring fashion, sports, beauty, souvenirs, and dining.

Since its recent renovation, the gastronomic offerings have significantly expanded, especially with the arrival of the Time Out Market Barcelona, spread over more than 5,000 m² with various kitchens, bars, and dining areas.

In the Heart of Port Vell

Moll d’Espanya and the Port of Barcelona

The Moll d’Espanya is part of the Port Vell, the old port that has become one of the main promenades along Barcelona's waterfront.

This area provides easy access to the Ramblas, Barceloneta, Moll de la Fusta, and the Christopher Columbus Monument.

Discover the Port of Barcelona

The current face of Moll d’Espanya is largely linked to the transformation of Barcelona's waterfront that began in the late 1980s and accelerated as the 1992 Olympic Games approached.

Port Vell was then redeveloped to better connect the port with the city and its visitors. Moll d’Espanya became a space dedicated to strolling, leisure, and culture, featuring attractions like Maremagnum and the Aquarium.

The area has continued to evolve since then, with the renovation of Maremagnum and the development of a more extensive gastronomic and event offering.
