Moll (Dock), Barcelona

The Moll (Dock) of Barcelona is located in front of the old shipyard. This is the part of the port, where the 1895 Modernist style Port Customs building is located. This is also where the boats that go to the Balearic Islands as well as the Golondrinas (boats that take you on little jaunts around the port) are docked. From here you can see the World Trade Centre, recently built, which is filled with shops and restaurants and is used as a congress and conference centre as well.
