This is the Barceloneta & the Waterfront chapter from Lonely Planet’s Barcelona guidebook.
The formerly industrial waterfront now features sparkling beaches, seaside bars, a 4.5km-long boardwalk, ultramodern high-rises and yacht-filled marinas. Your gateway to the Mediterranean is Barceloneta, an old-fashioned fishing quarter full of traditional seafood eateries.
