Junts will present a total amendment to the financing model but could allow its processing

The WhatsApp creator’s helicopter leaves Barcelona on a crane; his yacht remains in Port Vell

El paseo Joan de Borbó has a double life. On one side, La Barceloneta: that fishermen’s neighborhood transformed into a tourist attraction that, however, retains its usual rhythm, with real residents. On the other, the port; Marina Port Vell, one of the most important marinas in the Mediterranean, specialized in large yachts where fifty meters is the minimum to fit in.
