Where avinguda Diagonal meets the sea, the Catalans constructed a modern district and the third park of Barcelona: Parc Diagonal Mar.
I did meet a few people going for a stroll though, or riding their bikes. The new harbour with luxury boats, Port de Sant Adrià, was very quiet, perhaps also because it was early December. A high bridge allows pedestrians to make a tour around the entire harbour, offering nice views on the harbour itself and the surrounding area. The bridge also led me to the enormous solar panels on the other side, acting like a high, slanted roof. From here, I walked back to the central area of the Parc Diagonal Mar, finding things like a sun clock on the ground, many lanterns defining the skyline of the park, an enormous roof covering an empty space, a beautiful, tilted pedestrian bridge, and a very high war monument connecting this area of modernity to the past. From here, I had a very pleasant walk back to the city on the beaches, enjoying the surprisingly warm December sun.
