25 years ago, instead of the picturesque embankment in Barcelona, there was a noisy port and tens of warehouses. Thanks to the 1992 Summer Olympic Games this embankment was renovated. At first, it was decided to demolish the loading port. For several months the port district was changed into a luxurious place. There were built a number of 5-star hotels, made landscape gardens, opened restaurants and bars.
Today you can see special roads as for pedestrians, also for cyclists. The Toronto Central Waterfront is the best place for walks. Tourists have a great number of recreations at the embankment. The main sightseeing of these places is the Rambla del Mar Bridge. It opens for yachts. Tourists like this performance, they come at the embankment to see it. Those, who love unusual landmarks, have to see the swimming sculptures. They have placed not far from the bridge.
Near the embankment there is a huge shopping mall "Maremagnum". There you will find not only shops but also cafes. The Columb's Column is one more significant place at the embankment. Next to it the wharf has placed. There you can see several yachts. If you want, you can go with the captains to the open sea. Those, who will be with children, have to visit the Barcelona's Aquarium. It is one of the most beautiful and outstanding in Europe.
