- A compilation of data collected from Thursday's site visit- photos, statistical graphics, maps
We biked to the port as a class and later a group climbed Montjuic/rode the funicular and then the cable car to reach the fortress on top. The views were spectacular and very informative as far as site study is concerned. After Thursday's visit I researched the port more indepth and was amazed at the large scale of trade and transport. Barcelona's port is a hub for over 400 ports internationally and brings in an immense amount of goods and passengers from all over the world. I also looked at Montjuic's relationship to the port and its influences. Much more than just a pretty view, Montjuic is an important historical backdrop to the industrial port.
The port of Barcelona is a place of constant change and fluxuation. People are always coming and going in small crowds and massive crowds. Goods are exchanged.
The port is a gateway to the city, the place where many for the first time discover Barcelona. With such important roles in the city of Barcelona the port area has an obligation to deliver not only its cargo, but hospitality and a glimpse at the city itself.
