The sun hits the mirrored sail of the W Hotel as you step from the marina onto a low, wide deck that feels more like a floating terrace than a typical charter. Seats ring a pair of pedal stations — a dozen places to push, laugh, and share the work — while a stout engine stands ready to ease the effort when you want to rest and watch the coastline glide by.

History
Barcelona’s waterfront transformed from industrial docks to a public marina and leisure destination in the late 20th century, anchored visually by the Vela (W Hotel).
Conservation
