Port Vell - by night
Port Vell, the waterfront area of the city, has some of the best fish restaurants particularly in the old fisherman's quarter, Barceloneta. It's an interesting area to stroll around; as well as bars, a shopping mall and leisure center, there's the Maritime Museum, the largest aquarium in Europe and three recently cleaned up beaches. You can get a good view of the whole area from the observation deck on the Columbus Column or by taking one of the harbor cruises.
