The Port Vell marina was not too busy on this Sunday, and it's just about a 20-minute jog from the cruise ship piers.
Day 6 -- Barcelona
We Take a Nice Run to Port Vell and the Parks
Onboard: After a morning run off the ship in Barcelona, we headed to the spa for more treatments. I got my first pedicure and was happy these old feet have held up pretty well and that the therapist didn’t find my toes and nails too gnarly. Colleen had a full regimen with a body scrub and massage. We don't usually indulge in such luxuries but decided to treat ourselves after a recent period of grueling travel.
Ashore: Colleen and I got off the ship to go for a morning run from the pier to Port Vell. The cruise ship piers in Barcelona are in ideal spots for active travelers to walk or run right into the heart of the city, and the weather has always been perfect during our numerous trips to this very busy cruise destination. There were three other ships in port on this Monday, but we found it not too crowded as we explored an area away from Las Ramblas and the other popular sights.

The architecture in Barcelona is always worth a look. Interesting buildings are around every corner of the city.
