“We talk about the sea to talk about us”

The exhibition you can’t miss!

This is an exhibition that uses the sea as a pretext to talk about the culture of the sea, its tradition, water sports, technology and innovation, sustainability and the America’s Cup and its legacy. The exhibition seeks to position Catalonia as a nautical reference at national and international level and bring the sea closer to the citizens of Catalonia.

You can see it from April 6 to 12 at Port Olímpic. Free access!

Family show

SalvaMars Cirkus

SalvaMars Cirkus is a theatrical show for all audiences that shows life at sea and its threats in a comical way, gestural theatre, imagination and surrealism. With a spectacular marine circus tent as scenery and accompanied, on the one hand, by an original soundtrack of classical music, a couple of clowns make us think in a fun way about the problems generated in the sea by plastics, industrialization and climate change.

Sunday, April 7 at 12:30 p.m. at Port Olímpic in Barcelona. Free access!
