Las Golondrinas
Barcelona’s famous pleasure boats, “The Swallows” have been picking up passengers and pootling around the port since 1888. While the sights have changed beyond recognition since then, the formula has stayed much the same, and the prices low. A 40-minute tour of the Port of Barcelona, past the cruise ships and superyachts in the marina, still uses the old-style double decker boats, while a 60-minute trip along the coast, with views of the beaches and the city skyline, including La Sagrada Família, employs a more powerful modern catamaran. Buy tickets online in advance and board at the wharf in front of the Columbus monument.
