The catamaran slips away from Pati Vela as the city tilts toward gold; the wind tugs at shirtsleeves and the Mediterranean dares you to look farther than the boardwalk. Passengers trade the clatter of the port for a horizon that stretches from Montjuïc’s low ridge to the sculpted spires of Sagrada Família, both shrinking into the wash of the wake.
