Boat tour Goleta Karya around the port and seafront of Barcelona. https://www.goletakarya.com/en/home/ There are two basic tours available: 1 hour during the day for 15 euros or 90 minutes sunset tour for 18 euros. I recommend the sunset tour. Drinks are also reasonably priced at 3 euros for a beer or wine or cava

Maremagnum Shopping Complex

Maremagnum is a shopping centre with all the usual chains but unlike the shops in the centre of Barcelona, also opens on Sunday due to its location being in the middle of the port and under the jurisdiction of the port authority.
