A small group steps off Passeig del Born and into streets that have been arguing with the sea for centuries—stone alleys that curve like questions, shopfronts that quietly point to a vanished port. The guide speaks French; the voices of the city reply in Catalan and Spanish as you move from medieval squares to the glass-fronted modernity of the Olympic Port.
