This nearly 200-year-old bar— reputedly the oldest in Barcelona, is an absynthe bar. Was one of the locations from Vicky Christina Barcelona's film. The Marsella is one of those places that Hemingway supposedly loved to frequent (Hemingway being to bars in Spain what George Washington is to inns in New England).

City-beach with very different atmospheres, depending on the season. In the summer its crowded and full of people sun-bathing, partying, rollerblading, swimming etc. But in the winter it can be a wonderful quiet place.

It used to be a cement factory. Ricardo Bofill turned it into his architecture studio.

Where the lights come from is the national museum of art in Catalunya. Its an impressive building with great exhibitions and a huge collection of hostoric art. In that area you will also find Mies Van Der Roes house and Caixa forum (Av. Francesc Ferrer i Guàrdia, 6-8).

After being in the market I love going to the beach for a swim in winter there is a magnificient hot/outdoors swimingpool next to the beach were you can swim even if it's rainy!!!
