It remains the home port of the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier; models of this and ships throughout the ages can be found at the National Naval Museum, which was founded a century ago. Against today’s harbour backdrop of colourful fishing boats, sleek yachts and larger vessels you can still find the historic docks and workshops of Porte de l’Arsenal that have been here

Glimpse Barcelona’s remarkable architecture as you tour the city. Or experience Monsterrat, legendary home of the Knights of the Holy Grail. There’s also a host of art galleries, museums and elegant shops to explore.
