OLD PORT (Port Vell) area lies on the waterfront at the end of La Rambla.  This area of Barcelona was renovated before the 1992 Summer Olympics and today is a busy recreational area.

The Old Port district starts with the Statue of Christopher Columbus and continues on into a recreation area encompassing cinemas, an IMAX theater, restaurants, pubs, discos, and Europe's largest aquarium.

Bridges and boardwalks connect the marinas and restaurant complexes with the waterfront area and La Rambla.
