About Barcelona
Barcelona is by far the largest cruise port in the Mediterranean and one of the most important embarkation points in Europe. The Port Vell is located directly on the Ramblas, and seven cruise terminals (A, B, C, D, E, World Trade Center) serve over 800 cruise ships annually. Gaudí's Sagrada Família, Park Güell and the Gothic Quarter are world-famous attractions.
