Port Vell, i love you

Spending time at the beach and the ports of Barcelona is a great way to use a whole day. I´ve alredy shown you some of the beach, so here is more of what I like better: the marinas. The big money of Barcelona is really evident in Port Vell.


So, here is my newest yacht. You can see someone there is cleaning it for my fabulous dinner party tonight. Don´t be jealous, k?


A nice similarity between the sailboat masts and the old buildings of Barcelona.


One of my favorite things about the port is that there are so many new things coming in and leaving. Here is the Mercedes-Benz Pangaea, an ocean yacht for explorer Mike Horn. It has just started it´s journey to go to both the north and south pole for environmental education purposes. Here´s the site I found: http://mikehorn.com/index.php/site/newsblog/pangaeaarrives_in_barcelona/


Then you have things like this. It is a shipping boat lifting some kind of human sculpture/mannequin. I´m not sure what this is going to be for, but if you click the picture to enlarge it you can see that there is another figure laying beside it. Who knows in Barcelona...
