Barcelona
Barcelona stretches between the sea and Montjuïc hill, at the foot of which the port opens. The works of Antoni Gaudí, including the Sagrada Família, still under construction since 1882, and Park Güell are among the most visited monuments in Spain. The Gothic Quarter, the Ramblas and the Boqueria market make up a lively historic centre, while the 1992 Olympic Games reopened the city to its waterfront. Ferries to North Africa leave from a modern port that is easy to reach from the centre.
Oran
From the sea, Oran looks like a city in tiers set against the Murdjadjo, the mountain crowned by the fort and chapel of Santa Cruz. Nicknamed “El Bahia”, the radiant, it is the country’s second city and a crossroads of western Algeria: from here the road leads to Tlemcen, Mostaganem and Sidi Bel Abbès. The city centre, with 1 November Square and the regional theatre, is a short distance from the port, which makes the first hours on the ground easy.
