About this tour
This evening session walks Port Vell, Barcelona's old industrial port rebuilt for leisure. You see the converted warehouse buildings and then the swinging footbridge leading out to Maremagnum. It traces how a working port became a promenade.
I walk from the warehouses to the bridge as the evening lights come on, explaining the port's redevelopment as we go. Questions are welcome throughout, and I send a short note afterwards.
This suits anyone who wants Barcelona's waterfront rather than only its old town. It also works well as an easy evening session before dinner.
Included
- Live video walk with a local guide
- Questions to your guide all the way
- A short list of places to visit later
Not included
- Internet connection
- Travel to the city

Your questions 7 min

A short list to keep 3 min
Before you go, the guide sums up with a few things worth remembering: a dish to try: Fideuà and Gràcia, worth a slower look.
Good to know

- Ask questions any time, out loud or in the chat. The guide will pause to answer.
- Sessions run in small groups, up to 10 people, so there is room for everyone to ask something.
