The stunning Richard Meier-designed MACBA is an El Raval landmark. — Superb space. Even for skateboarders.

If you get contemporary art MACBA is your type of place. Even for we philistines, some exhibitions are mind-blowing, and the permanent collection has some gems too.

The superb Richard Meier-designed space is a bonus, and even the gift shop is well curated. Recommended.

Buy the Barcelona Museum Pass or Art Passport and gain priority entry to Fundació Joan Miró, the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya (MNAC), the Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona (CCCB),the Museu Picasso, Fundació Antoni Tàpies, and Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA), and avoid the queues.

El Museu Marítim de Barcelona

replica of a 16th Century galley at the Maritime Museum, Barcelona.

El Museu Marítim de Barcelona isn’t exactly one of main tourist attractions in town – the fact that the official website is only in Catalan or Spanish attests to that. We’re not terrifically excited by scale model boats, but the place has its charms.

The building itself is magnificent, having served as a shipyard from the 13^thto 18^thcenturies, and the full-size reproduction of a galley from the 16th Century is also impressive.

The courtyard – there’s a café too – is a lovely cool spot on a hot day, and occasionally serves as a location for a weekend market.
