In the following photo guide we've included photos both of Barcelona Colom and Port Vell which is the marina area just across the road from Colum. Port Vell has an attractive walkway across the marina called Rambla del Mar. This walkway leads to a popular shopping location called the Maremagnum centre. However the walk in itself is reason to visit this area as it's charming and you'll have some wonderful views of the marina.
