The most important rebuilding for the 1992 Olympics in Barcelona was the demolition of the old industrial waterfront. Four kilometers of promenade and suddenly seemed like a seaside resort. The city council built 2,000 apartments with parks and called the area Nova Icaria. This area still know as Vila Olimpica because the Olympic athletes originally stayed there.
On the seafront there are two forty-four-floor buildings, Spain’s tallest skyscrapers. One of these towers is an office block; the other is the modern and luxurious Arts Hotel. The towers stand by the Olympic port which was also constructed for the 1992 games. This area has shops and nightclubs, but the main reason for visiting id the two levels of restaurants around the marina, which make it a popular place to eat out. The wonderful outdoor setting attracts business people at breakfast and lunchtime, as well as locals and tourists in the evenings and at weekends. After lunch you can walk along the beach or sit in one of the stylish promenade cafe.
