Restaurants (Olympic Port)

A very good restaurant, it has a very calm atmosphere and its perfect if you love “paellas” Very nice view to the port.. A little bit expensive but you will not regret it.

A very “cool” and cold experience in the port of Barcelona. This disco-bar is made...with ice! With the price of the entrance you also rent a kind of polar coat. Amazing experience!!!

What can I say about this restaurant. Good “tapas”. With all kind of these “snacks” typical from Spain, you will have a good experience near the sea with products from the sea.

In Catalan

No sabrà el bé de l'aigua quin bé siael qui en terreny secà no haurà viscut,i veient-la minvar dia per diano haurà patit l'eixutdel camp quan no vol ploure, i la sembradaneix a redols, i d'una mala anyadatothom el dol pressent.L'estrenyetat de l'aigua és un turmenta tothora temut, i bé ho abonael cas que em va contar una madona;el cas d'un al·lotetque ve del camp tot abrusat de set.

Se'n va al gerrer, omplia l'escudellafins a vessar, i beu; de gran que era ellano la pogué esgotar,i, assaciat, anava ja a llançarl'aigua que hi romania;mes com un tro la vella li sortia:"L'aigua tudar, que mancarà a l'estiu? ..."I el pobre, quin remei? ..., la se bevia.- No féssiu el cap viu!

In English

The good of the water It will not know the good of the water who has not lived in a dry land, and watching it disappearing day by day, he will not have suffered the dryness of the field when it does not want to rain, and the seeded,born in a field and in a bad year the mourning present.The narrowness of the water is a nightmare, always fearful, as it

proves what a woman told me,the case of a boy that comes from the land burning of thirsty.He takes the jug, fill the pot until spilling, and drinks; of big that it was,could not finish it , and satisfied was about to throw it away , as a thunder the old woman said “To waste water , that will lack in Summer?...”And the poor boy, with no choice….drank itThink what you do.

El bé de l’aigua. Espigues en flor
