We start our walk from the Torre de Sant Sebastia in the harbour. It is already evening, a bit dark and cloudy. Kristel checks her city guide to see in which direction we need to go. We are looking for a restaurant.
This beach location used to be an industrial zone. To facilitate the Olympic games of 1992, old factories made place for apartment blocks to house athletes. Now it is a nice public beach with shower facilities.
The promenade is one of the best places to go skating. A bit further on Barceloneta, you find trendy restaurants, bars and clubs. Next to the modern buildings like the copper construction of Pez y Esfera, you see art on the promenade.
We beginnen onze wandeling aan Torre de Sant Sebastia in de haven. Het is reeds avond, een beetje donker en bewolkt. Kristel kijkt in de stadsgids waar ons restaurant gelegen is. Welke richting moeten we uit?
Dit strand was verlaten industriezone. De oude fabrieken moesten plaats maken voor appartementen ter huisvesting van atleten voor de Olympische spelen van 1992. Nu is het een openbaar strand met douche faciliteiten.
De wandeldijk is een uitstekende plaats om te skaten. Iets verder op Barceloneta vind je trendy restaurants, bars en clubs. Naast de moderne gebouwen zoals de Pez y Esfera koperen constructie zie je ook veel kunst in het straatbeeld..

ReplyDeleteThree things stand out to me here today that I really love. The unusual building and it's shape, all these many many boats, I would think they get traffic jam! And the colorful sculpture of the man.
