The route
Shared sunset sailing boat from Port Olímpic, with cava and aperitif
The sea is one metro stop away and hardly anyone uses it in winter. In November the boat leaves at 16:30, when the light is turning orange, and by 18:30 you are back on land with time to stroll before dinner.
From the mooring to the table
16:15 · Port Olímpic. Barcelona Sailing boards at the Moll de la Marina. Its website also mentions Port Vell on the Spanish-language page: confirm the quay when you book. The boat is a 16-metre sailing yacht with a skipper, for a maximum of eleven people, so you share the deck with other couples or groups.
16:30 · Two hours under sail. With cava, sangria, wine or beer and a snack on board. The published price starts at €45 per person; the Spanish page shows €55 in low season, so check the price you get when you book. If the weather rules out sailing, you can choose between a refund and another date.
18:45 · Seafront walk. From the port to Barceloneta, half an hour on foot along the beach. If it is cold, stop for a coffee on the way.
20:00 · Can Solé. A rice restaurant on Carrer de Sant Carles, in the heart of Barceloneta. Dinner is served Tuesday to Saturday; on Sunday it only serves lunch and on Monday it is closed.
Why in winter
In the cold months the early sailing leaves dinner at a normal time. In summer sunset comes much later and the rice slips towards ten at night.

Tips
Worth knowing first
- 1A coat and flat shoes
It gets cool on deck as soon as the sun goes, and soles need to grip.
- 2Book the table for 20:00
It gives you some leeway if the boat comes back a little late.
We'd skip it
If you get seasick easily and the forecast promises a swell: swap the sail for a sunset stroll along the breakwater and skip dinner.
