The wind takes a clean, briny breath as the sail tugs and the city tilts away—Barcelona’s shoreline sliding into a horizon of glass and sand. From Port Olímpic the boat slips past the golden fish sculpture and the twin Olympic towers, sails catching a Mediterranean current that seems to dare you seaward. The skipper points out landmarks as the skyline unfolds: the wedge of the W Hotel on the waterline, the maremagnum cluster of shops, and the wide sweep of Barceloneta beach.
