Rambla del Mar, Barcelona!

The boys won their game last night against Zagreb! Yay and Kevin scored a goal! :)

Happy Birthday to Uncle Tommy today!

The First night in Barcelona after Tapas on Las Ramblas we continued walking down by the harbor to the mall, Maremagnum leisure and shopping complex, to get some dinner on the water! It was a very nice setting! After dinner we stopped at H&M in the mall, the boys were chilly an needed to buy hoodies and then Starbucks!

The Rambla del Mar is a wooden walkway connecting the Portal de la Pau at the bottom of La Rambla with the Moll d’Espanya, which is home to the Maremagnum leisure and shopping complex, the Imax cinema and the sailing clubs. The Rambla opened in 1994 and is the continuation of Las Ramblas over the harbor. The walkway is at the edge of a navigable dock and can be raised to allow boats through. Its highly original design features timber planking and curved forms reminiscent of the style of the “modernista” architect Jujol, and curved pergolas which act as supports for the lighting. The project was designed by Helio Piñón and Albert Viaplana, who also created the Maremagnum building.

Boats in row!


The Harbor was lined with huge cruise ships!

The mall and restaurants!


The reflection of the building shows the floor plan below of this restaurant!


Maremagnum shopping center is ideally located to combine leisure and culture. You can go shopping and have fun but also discover the oldest port of Barcelona.
