Carrer Major de les Rambles de Barcelona

Les Rambles Barcelona Espanya Primera Impressió

El carrer Major de Las Ramblas de Barcelona és un famós carrer de vianants arbrat que s’estén durant poc més d’un quilòmetre. La Rambla connecta la plaça de Catalunya al centre de la ciutat amb el Monument a Cristòfor Colom al Port Vell.

La Rambla marca el límit de la ciutat entre el Barri Gòtic i el Raval. En aquest carrer hi ha molts edificis històrics, com el famós Teatre del Liceu. El mercat de la Boqueria s’uneix a les Rambles, un dels punts de referència turístics més famosos de la ciutat. Des de la nostra oficina de Port Ginesta, podeu arribar a la Rambla amb tren o cotxe. Viatjant des de la nostra oficina de Network Yacht Brokers Barcelona, la manera senzilla d’arribar és amb taxi i tren directament des de l’aeroport internacional del Prat.

Història de la carretera

El nom de Las Ramblas prové del verb espanyol “Ramblar”, que significa divagar. Aquest camí té cinc trams, i cadascun té la seva història i personalitat. La Rambla és molt coneguda per la seva rica història. Les tres primeres zones s’anomenen Rambla Font de Canaletes, Rambla dels Estudis (Universitat Jesuïta) i Rambla de Sant Josep (també coneguda com a Rambla de Les Flors), un mercat de flors a l’aire lliure. La següent zona es diu La Rambla dels Caputxins. Antigament el lloc del monestir dels caputxins, on ara hi ha el Teatre de l’Òpera del Liceu. Finalment, la Rambla de, antigament emplaçament del Convent de Santa Mònica, s’ha convertit en Centre d’Arts.

Un lloc concorregut; visitar amb precaució.

Un lloc concorregut durant la temporada turística, el carrer Major de Las Ramblas de Barcelona està molt concorregut. Ha canviat notablement des del segle XIX; val molt la pena visitar-lo. Recomanem una passejada al matí abans que estigui massa ocupat. Hi ha molt per veure, des de flors fins a mimistes i acròbates.

La zona sí que pateix carteristes que estimen els turistes. A la nit, es converteix una mica més en un barri vermell”, i no recomanem caminar com a turista sol. Molta policia vigila la ciutat, però les autoritats de Barcelona semblen negar la necessitat d’un sistema de CCTV al centre de la ciutat.

Els delictes perillosos o violents a Barcelona són molt poc freqüents. Tanmateix, el petit delicte de carteristes gairebé s’ha convertit en una forma de vida. El mal del carterista es pot evitar assegurant-vos que els vostres objectes de valor estiguin segurs.

Llocs per visitar

El poeta espanyol Federico García Lorca va dir una vegada que la Rambla era “L’únic carrer del món que esperava que no s’acabés mai”. A l’est de la Rambla es troba el Barri Gòtic o Barri Gòtic, el centre de la ciutat vella de Barcelona. El Barri Gòtic continua sent un fascinant laberint de carrers i petites places, molts connectats amb la Rambla.

Plaça Reial

Una plaça de connexió important és la plaça Reial, una bonica plaça del segle XIX amb palmeres i il·luminació dissenyada per Antoni Gaudí. L’entrada a la plaça Reial es fa per un curt passatge, just al costat de les Rambles dels Caputxins. Una mica més endins al Barri Gòtic hi ha la Catedral de Santa Eulàlia. A prop, la plaça Sant Jaume acull la Generalitat de Catalunya i l’Ajuntament – Ajuntament de Barcelona. Aquestes són les entitats rivals dels governs català i espanyol de Catalunya.

A l’oest de la Rambla hi ha el barri una mica diferent del Raval. Antigament estaven situats fora de les muralles de la ciutat. Inicialment, aquesta zona va ser la seu de diverses institucions. En anys posteriors, van aparèixer fàbriques i edificis amb habitatges per als treballadors. La vida nocturna agitada, els salons i la prostitució estan molt esteses en aquesta zona. Avui dia, aquesta part de la ciutat conserva un cert grau de “punta” a la nit. A Barcelona, però, aquests llocs dormen tranquil·lament quan brilla el sol.

Més enrere en la història

La Rambla va ser inicialment una riera fangosa, utilitzada com a clavegueram i plena d’escombraries. Sovint era sec a l’estiu, però com a desguàs, era imprescindible per fer front a les fortes pluges que a la primavera i la tardor feien des dels Turons de Collserola. Al 1400, la riera es va desviar per evitar el centre de la ciutat. L’àmplia franja de terra es va convertir en el centre de la ciutat per a mercats i reunions públiques.

L’any 1703 el consistori va plantar oms per revestir el carrer per fer-lo més atractiu.

Els conflictes al llarg dels segles van passar factura als edificis religiosos de la Rambla, sobretot la Nit de Sant Jaume de 1835. Els revolucionaris van cremar els monestirs i les esglésies i després van assassinar tots els ocupants. Durant la Guerra Civil Espanyola (1936-39), els anarquistes van controlar Barcelona, que es va dirigir a edificis religiosos i va massacrar els monjos i les monges. El foc d’artilleria i els atacs aeris de les forces franquistes durant la Segona Guerra Mundial també van causar greus danys.

Avui la Rambla és un centre comercial concorregut i un dels llocs més visitats d’Europa; rebem uns 30 milions de turistes a l’any.

Costa de València Espanya

València és Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències

Partit Nacional ValènciaLa Comunitat Valenciana es troba a la costa sud-est d’Espanya. Una de les ciutats més antigues, maques i la tercera més poblada d’Espanya després de Madrid i Barcelona. No obstant això, el barri de Mislata a la Costa de València, Espanya, és la zona més densament poblada d’Espanya. Va ser conquerida l’any 138 aC pels romans i posteriorment ocupada pels visigots i els moriscos. L’any 1982, amb l’Estatut d’Autonomia Valencià, la província es va integrar a la Comunitat Valenciana. La Costa de València, Espanya, és una Ciutat de les Arts i les Ciències, plena d’història però amb alguns racons futuristes a les seves estructures, amb un museu interactiu, un oceanari i un planetari.

València és una de les ciutats més grans d’Espanya.

València Espanya (art i ciències)Un passeig en barca pel parc de l’Albufera, rutes de senderisme i una reserva d’aiguamolls és una de les moltes activitats que podeu trobar. València és una de les ciutats més grans d’Espanya pel que fa al clima, amb boniques platges per gaudir de l’experiència de llogar un xàrter nàutic a València a Eivissa o Formentera . O, si tens pensat comprar un vaixell o un iot, trobaràs 33.500 ofertes (catamarans, embarcacions a motor, velers, iots d’ocasió, basses) a la Costa de València, Espanya.
La ciutat portuària de València es troba entre el riu Túria i el mar Mediterrani. És el quart port més transitat d’Europa i el més gran d’Espanya i de la conca del mar Mediterrani.

Paella Valenciana EspanyaLa beguda a València és Aigua de València, i els seus ingredients (suc de taronja acabat d’esprémer, cava, vodka, ginebra i molt de gel) no tenen res a veure amb el nom. L’orxata també és molt popular però natural, feta amb xufa (també conegut com xufa). Aquesta tubercule creix als camps d’Alboraya, un petit poble al nord de València. I no m’oblido de la Dieta Mediterrània: La famosa Paella Valenciana.

Sant Josep.

Sant Josep València EspanyaValència mostra amplis llistats de la UNESCO. Flamenc, Torre Humana, Festa Major de Déu de la Salut, Pintures d’art rupestre mediterrani, L’obra de misteri d’Elx, Palmerar d’Elx, Festa de les Falles, Tribunal de l’Aigua de la Plana de València, Itinerari Cultural del Vi i la Vinya Ciutats mediterrànies, i la dieta mediterrània.
En els últims anys, esdeveniments esportius internacionals crítics com l’America’s Cup i el Gran Premi de Fórmula 1 van situar València al mapa mundial. Les Falles és una gran festa a València. 19è dia de música forta, menjar deliciós, il·luminació del carrer, concerts de petards i art temporal, on turistes i locals es reuneixen cada març per honrar el patró dels fusters de la ciutat, Sant Josep.
Ciències i art ValènciaUna altra celebració nacional és al juliol, The Flower Battle. A continuació, l’agost La Tomatina. Un partit de lluita que enfonsa amb tomàquets el petit poble de Buñol. El 9 d’octubre es commemora les entrades a la ciutat de València del Rei Jaume, la Diada de la Comunitat Valenciana, i la Diada de Sant Dionís, la versió local de Sant Valentí.
Per arribar a la ciutat, hi ha l’aeroport principal més proper a l’aeroport de València (VLC), Alacant (ALC/LEAL), Palma de Mallorca (PMI), Eivissa (IBZ) i Barcelona (BCN).
Si t’agrada la música, l’art i el bon menjar, València és la ciutat d’Espanya que has de veure!

Sant Carles Marina Tarragona Spain

A Spanish Marina in Catalonia, Sant Carles Marina Tarragona Spain

Sant Carles Marina is owned and operated by MDL, a British leisure and resort company. The only Marina they own outside the UK is a treasure for boat owners during the long summer months of Mediterranean warmth. This Marina is a couple of hours south of Barcelona. It’s not a huge Marina but has a good mix of power and sailboats.

Network Yacht Brokers Barcelona attracted a good number of listing from Sant Carles Marina, one of which finally came north to Port Ginesta Barcelona so that we can deal with potential sales daily. We had a busy day preparing the yacht to leave Sant Carles Marina, as the owner had not visited her in more than one year.

As this Marina is set slightly inland, surrounded by fields and marshlands, fouling is a particular problem. So regular washing of boats in the Marina is essential to keep the marine environment from a residence on your boat.

Jeanneau 39 DS Yacht For Sale Sant Carles MarinaMission accomplished for the Jeanneau 39 DS Yacht we now have for sale in Port Ginesta. We gave her a good scrub for the owner, who then journeyed up the coast to our home. She has a vast inventory, including electric winches, bow thruster, air conditioning, and a neat solar panel system to keep the start battery fully charged.

If you want a yacht with an interior best described as “as good as new”, please follow the link and look at this beautiful example. The photographs in the specification were taken by ourselves when she arrived in Barcelona in August 2021.

Northwind Yachts Barcelona

Famous boatyard in the centre of Barcelona

Northwind Yachts’ famous boatyard was in the middle of Barcelona, Spain. The yard was once the proud producer of globetrotting yachts, and the boatyard remains a very usable space. Thankfully it is developing into a yacht repair yard which is an excellent use of this once fantastic facility.
Northwind’s old yard includes a fully equipped production hall measuring 60m in length x 30m wide x 23m high, offering unprecedented access to the Mediterranean Sea. An external esplanade measuring close to 12,000 square metres is also available for repairs and refit works and is now part of the Port Vela Marina development. Northwind Yachts had already sold its northern hall to the Barcelona World Race Foundation.

Shipyard repair and refit activities

North Wind Yachts Shipyard in Barcelona provides excellent opportunities for yacht construction, repair and refit activities, sales and brokerage through Marina Vela.
Network Yacht Brokers Barcelona (Network BCN) is keen to support Marina Vela in developing the old Northwind’s yard. (Network BCN).
Partner in Network BCN Rob Woodward says, “The site is located a few minutes away from Barcelona’s city centre and 15 minutes from the Barcelona international airport. The shipyard is located at the entrance of Barcelona Harbor, where yachts sailing to the private yachting clubs and marinas of Barcelona pass. This excellent infrastructure, including the “W”-Hotel, must be further developed”.

My top ten list of optional extras will add value to a yacht on the used market; here are tips you need to know before you buy a yacht. Some upgrades are expensive but not generally considered essential to a used yacht buyer. See my post before buying a yacht three for expensive factory-fit extras with little value in the used yacht market.

Solar Panels

As solar and electronic boating equipment becomes more efficient, enhancing the sun’s power when at sea enables more freedom. Sailors love freedom, so solar panels are undoubtedly close to the top of my list of things that enhance the value of a used yacht.

Bow Thruster

Acquiring manoeuvering skills for a good size yacht, especially around a tiny harbour or marina, takes time. Even a well-practised skipper is glad of a button to press in a time of need. The reality is that unless you move boats regularly, even professional skippers can have difficulties.

Autopilot

Assortment of components boat for sale SpainA modern-quality autopilot is worth its weight in gold (as they say). If you are sailing short-handed, then it is almost essential on a reasonable-size fin keel yacht. I can argue an exception if you sail a long-keel yacht. It is possible to set sails, add a little weather helm and keep on trucking(as they say). Locking the helm will require navigational input over time, but it’s great fun!

Chart Plotter Combined Radar

Chart Plotter Yacht For sale spain

Once upon a time, as plotters became more graphic, skippers would have two plotters, one at the nav table and one on deck. The reality is that little from most leisure sailing is spent below in the chart table. Plotters have become more prominent, brighter and weather resistant, so using them as a glorified sat-nav makes sense. When approaching an unfamiliar harbour, it is very reassuring to glance at the plotter and see your position from a different perspective. Unfortunately, navigation equipment is updated so fast that I would only buy a plotter catered to my needs. I would not spend additional money buying anything electronic because I thought it would enhance the value of my yacht. Next season, a new owner will want to update the latest gadgets.

Electric Winch

One electric winch on the coachroof is enough for most people. It will save you lots of work grinding up or pulling both the main. You can also use it to hoist a buddy, rig up a pully, and recover a dingy or person. One can find all manner of uses for an electric winch on the coach roof. I do not see a need for an electric winch on any yacht smaller than 13 metres.

Folding Propellor

before you buy a yachtI selected reverse when sailing for years to save wear and tear on my yacht gearbox. They said that the components inside the gearbox are fixed and wearing (sounds reasonable) because the prop stops spinning. They also say that a fixed propellor creates less drag than a free-spinning prop (no idea about that). Then I met some people who sailed the Atlantic having to replace a gearbox on a reasonably modern yacht. Selecting reverse to lock the propellor over long periods puts a strain on the gearbox clutch that can cause It to wear out (wow, I never knew that). The solution, if you are concerned, is a folding propellor. It’s a lovely thing to have, and a buyer for your yacht will be happy you invested money in one.

Fresh Water-cooled Engine

This one is worth another post. If I had a choice, I would pay a little more for a new water-cooled engine. Link to a post on the subject to follow

 

Boat Heating

Boats in northern climates can be damp smelly places. A boat heater will not only keep you toasty warm in the evenings. It will drive out dampness and protect your investment.

 

 

Air Conditioning

Lots of Mediterranean Marinas do not charge for electricity. They see it as part of a package deal. So from the moment you arrive until you depart, you can keep the yacht chilled to a perfect temperature if you are in a marina. Just like heating, Air conditioning will transform your boating experience.

Factory Fitted Generator

Factory fitted generator boat for sale spainBefore you buy a yacht, you must know that ff you plan to spend a lot of time at anchor and are spicing up a new 15-metre-plus yacht, then a factory fit generator might be on your list of extras. It only made my list because I wanted to comment on the difference between fitting a low-cost aftersales unit and a proper factory-integrated unit. A Lot of research is needed if you are going down the generator installation route. In my experience, few companies can save money on a factory-installed unit.

Yachts That Sell Fast

Sell a Yacht Fast

Pirate ship boat for sale in a marina Yachts That Sell FastClients often ask me about how quickly a yacht might take to sell. This is a very sensible question but rather complex to answer. However, I can first answer by comparing yachts against powerboats.

In Spain, compared to powerboats, all yachts sell very fast!

Then it starts to get complex. A clue to the difficulty in giving a general answer is found in my answer above (in Spain). To be more precise, along the east coast of Spain near Barcelona, the used yacht market is very buoyant.

Being part of Network Yacht Brokers gives me an insight into European and UK sales. Interestingly some locations are dominated by powerboat sales. It all comes down to the sort of cruising waters you have. A local market does not necessarily drive this. 

People looking for a boat generally look in places where they discover the right sort of boat.

For example, a sailing boat is no good if you don’t have any wind. Some parts of Spain lack decent wind, so powerboat sales dominate.

Boat buyers might have narrowed their search to discover a place with more of the type of boat they are looking for.

jeanneau yachts factory Yachts That Sell FastLet me explain the thinking behind the statement above. For example, let’s take the Hamble in the UK. This is a place where buyers can find every type of boat. However, if I was interested in buying a racing yacht, the Hamble in England might be a good starting point to investigate racing yachts. The Hamble is the centre of the UK Marine industry and where many companies support sailing as a sport. On the other hand, if I was looking to purchase a superyacht, I might contact Yach Brokers along the southern French coast in or around Monaco.

International Boat Buyers

Shortly after moving from the UK to Barcelona in Spain, we opened a brokerage office in Port Ginesta, close to Barcelona International Airport. Thirty years in the industry and more than twenty years as a Yacht Broker led me to believe Barcelona was a place that had lots of boats for me to sell.

American FlagWe hadn’t been open for business long in Spain when an enquiry came in from North America. I was fascinated by a young Canadian couple’s mindset. They inquired about a 15-metre sailing yacht we had just put for sale on brokerage in Barcelona. They planned to fly to Barcelona (they said it looked like an easy place to get to with lots of boats). They would buy a one-way ticket and sail the yacht back to Canada after first learning to sail in the Mediterranean, where sailing was easy. Wow, the logic was astonishing. Look at the Globe and the Mediterainina was nothing more than a big lake. Plenty of places to visit. Perhaps they would spend a summer in Europe before crossing the ocean. Put that way, It sounds fantastic!

You might think the above was unusual. We sold two 15-metre yachts of the same brand that year that went to Canada. Several buyers came from America, Mexico, and Venezuela. We get many enquiries from Australia where individuals have similar ideas. If you sell a globetrotting yacht in Northern Europe, Barcelona is the place to take it.

What is the fastest-selling used boat brand? Yachts That Sell Fast

Amel Yacht Table with boles Port Ginesta Yachts That Sell Fast

I believe “Amel”  is the fastest-selling used boat brand”. Perhaps you thought I would say Bavaria, Jeanneau or Beneteau? Indeed they sell in large numbers, but buyers have thousands of yachts to choose from, so competition for an individual boat sale is intense.

In 2021 we are discovering that some Globetrotting brands, such as Amel, have increased in value. The global pandemic hit factory production in 2020, and sailboats became more difficult to find in the second-hand market. Perhaps more people are looking to escape the humdrum of everyday life and take to the sea. As a yacht broker in Barcelona, Spain, we have yachts that have seen sales increase again this year. Perhaps it’s time for you to think about a sailing adventure.

Before You buy a Yacht

I am choosing a Yacht to buy.

The choice of yachts in a yard Before You buy a Yacht
So Many Keel Shape And Hull Shapes

This is a big subject. I have been in the industry for almost 30 years. I have acquired lots of knowledge that I am happy to pass on to you. You will make your own decision about what Yacht to buy. I hope the information helps you make the right decision before you buy a Yacht.

Having sailed in many parts of the world, I am a very experienced sailor. I have never crossed an ocean under sail and do not wish to do so.

Before You Buy A Yacht

modern yacht keels Before You buy a Yacht
Modern Hull And Keel Shapes

Ask yourself this question. What sort of sailing am I going to do? You could ask how long a piece of string is, or I haven’t decided yet.

If you are at that point in an adventure to get into boating, this is an excellent place for me to make my first statement.  Let’s start with one of my golden rules.

Never buy a boat that you cannot sell quickly (unless doing so is part of a master plan). See my post, “yachts that sell fast”.

A lucky few, who do not need to count the cost of a yacht, may buy a classic yacht, spending thousands, even millions restoring it and perhaps reconstructing a classic yacht using ultra-modern techniques.  I understand that mindset. Sorry, this blog is incomplete for you, but I can chat about such a project.

For the rest of us, a balance of hard-earned cash and a desire to buy the biggest Yacht within a budget will likely be a primary consideration when buying a yacht. In the following posts, I will explain the advantages of different yachts in simple terms. I aim to help you avoid buying the wrong Yacht.

Hull shapes

Long keel 

Fjord III German Frers
Classic Yacht Long Keel

Ask a schoolboy to draw the shape of a yacht out of the water. He will probably produce a drawing of a Classic Long Keel Yacht. They have a beautiful shape, solid and solid, but they are expensive to produce.

An adequately proportioned long keel yacht is a dream to sail in a straight line. She will be a wet ride as she cuts through the waves. Occasionally, in the short sea, she will take a wave the length of her deck. Set the sails correctly, though, and you are unlikely ever to feel worried about the wind and sea power. A long keel yacht is designed to go in a straight line for hundreds of miles; she will do this very well—practically a go-anywhere time,e yacht. If you are considering a liveaboard, this type of yacht shape should be on your radar.

Disadvantages of a long keel

Not the best keel shape if you are thinking of sailing in confined waters. You might need to back the jib in light winds to speed up a tack. This is fun at first but becomes tiresome as an everyday routine. If you miss the tack in confined waters and are in a rocky place or on a falling tide, then you might get into trouble. As a comparison, a modern fin keel yacht will tack effortlessly with virtually no wind, provided she is moving in the water.

Long keel a lovely shape
Safe in a Long Keel Yacht

I remember my many attempts to tackle the Menai Strait in North Wales on our first proper Yacht (my first boating love). She was a long keel ketch called Kuan Yin. I could quickly write a book based on the pleasure she gave my family and me. We had many adventures in the Irish Sea for several years. Only our inexperience occasionally puts us in danger. Kuan Yin never let us down.  I would love to know how she is now, almost twenty-five years after I sold her (I still feel the pain).

Long Keel Summary,

If you buy a long keel yacht, You will have a tricky boat to sail. A long keel hull shape will appeal to an individual who wants to live aboard or sail in all weather. She will provide you with a strong and stable platform. Unfortunately, a long keel yacht is slow compared to a modern fin and skeg or fin and spade hull shape yacht. Indeed, a long keel yacht is not easy to sail single-handedly. Perhaps not the best-suited Yacht for a small marina where you might need to reverse into a berth. A long keel yacht will not go backwards in a straight line.

Fin and Rudder Skeg

A superb balance between a lightweight fin and a long keel. An encapsulated fin keel combines the strength of a long keel, offering rudder protection if combined with a skeg. Generally, if a rudder, this Yacht is most likely considered a globetrotter skeg design and includes an encapsulated fin keel, this Yachtthe wet ride you get with a long keel yacht, as she will not be as heavy. She will not be designed to sit on the surface; therefore is unlikely to slam when in short seas.

 

 

Disadvantages of a fin and skeg

Expensive to build and generally not as fast as a fin and spade rudder hull shape through the water.

Fin and Skeg Summary (encapsulated fin-keel).

Some of the best globetrotting yachts are designed around the Fin and Skeg profile. Amel is only one of the fantastic yacht manufacturers that comes to mind when thinking about superb sailing yachts. Quite simplyIf type of Yacht will circumnavigate the globe many times without stopping for a breath!

Fin Keel Yacht with Spade Rudder

Thousands of Fin and Spade Rudder Yachts came off a boat production line in the last twenty years. With no sign of slowing production, this configuration makes a high-speed yacht compared to conventional modern yacht keelshull shapes. Most fin and spade rudder yachts have a bolted-on keel. A bolt-on configuration is comparatively cheap to produce, and it’s fair to say this has revolutionised yachting over the last twenty-five years.

The computer-aided hull design also helps acquire a more incredible downwind speed. Hull shapes have evolved in recent years, resulting in much wider cockpits. The simple yet brilliant idea of installing a twin helm has further enabled the shape of a modern yacht to change over the years. A widening hull stern makes a yacht much more buoyant, making it an even faster boat. Conventional racing yachts generally go for a fin and spade keel set-up.

Disadvantages of a bolted-on keel

Severe damage to a hull can happen if an underwater collision between a bolted-on keel and a solid object occurs. You might get away with no damage if you get a can gradually sloping sandbank, but if you hit a rock at some speed, you run the risk of risk Yacht. Fin keel yachts cross the oceans without problems, but accidents have happened where objects have been struck far out to sea, causing severe problems. An underwater collision can seriously damage any yacht.
