The boat slips free from Port Olímpic and the city slowly recedes into a low-line silhouette: twin towers, Frank Gehry’s gleaming fish, and the long arc of Barceloneta. Salted wind tugs at your sleeves and the skipper gives a short safety briefing before you cut the moorings and let the Mediterranean take the lead.
