BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta
Whether in boom or recession, art remains fundamental. But while free art is a great idea, not all great art is free. So this guide takes you places where there is no admission fee.
BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta guides you around artworks on Barcelona’s waterfront and through the fishing district of Barceloneta, describing the city’s history, the artists who created these sculptures and the stories that bring Barcelona alive. The Barcelona Free Art guides inform without being academic, helping you enjoy Barcelona’s culture as you wander or cycle around town.
The ebook edition of BCN Free Art 01: The Port and Barceloneta has now been fully revised. Extra information has been added, while we have replaced some lower-quality photos for better images. We have also made the route more streamlined and easier to follow. So the chapters have been reorganised and every artwork is now linked to its position on Google maps. There are even links to other artworks mentioned that aren’t part of the official route!

‘We were awake by then and
suddenly the ack-ack (anti-aircraft) guns down on Hackney Marshes started
firing. Mum got us both into one bed and lay over us herself, hoping we would
not be in a direct hit. After a few seconds of quiet, we got coats and shoes
on, grabbed blankets, and Dad shepherded us downstairs and out the door on our
way to the reinforced concrete air-raid shelter underneath a school, just one
block away.’
On 1 September, 1939, 175 children, teachers and helpers from Millfields Junior
School in Clapton arrived in the Hertfortshire village of High Wych, as
evacuees of the London Blitz. Ria Booth tells the story of her war years, from
eight to thirteen years old, evoking both village life in a former, more rural
England, and the terror and sacrifice of living in a London besieged by bombs.
