'''RCMB''' is ideally located for access to the tourist areas of La Rambla, Barrio Gottic and El Born, and you will probably pay less here than at Port Vell, however you will have to fight your way across the pedestrian bridge to get to town, which is generally crowded with tourists.  RCMB is on the Moll d'Espanya opposite the Mar Magnum shopping center just across from the famous La Rambla pedestrian street.  Bear in mind that this is a crowded, tourist-oriented area of town and while the views and location are spectacular, slips on the west side, close to the opening bridge in particular are subject to crowd noise as well as the beeping of the pedestrian bridge siren when it opens each half hour during the day.  Slips nearer the opening footbridge are also subject to considerable swell from time to time from tugs passing outside the marina.
 
-
 
-
'''Security'''
 
-
RCMB is secured with electric gates/doors and 24/7 attended reception/nightwatchman governing access.  As a 'guest' and not a member you will not be issued with an access card and will have to request admission each time you return.  The reception staff are friendly and helpful but only one speaks any English and a little Spanish goes a long way here.  Although security appears tight, we interrupted an attempted burglary on board when we were in a slip just inside the marina fence and very close to the public pedestrian bridge.  Later one of our bicycles was stolen while locked in the bike racks.  The whole seafront area of Barcelona (as well as many other areas of Barcelona!) is prime "ladrone" territory and petty theft seems endemic.  We think the thief climbed over the fence and targeted our boat which was "low hanging fruit".
 
-
 
-
'''Facilities'''
 
-
Most of the resident boats are locally owned weekenders, one-design racers, small cabin cruisers and fishing boats and are in the 25-35' category for which RCMB provides finger piers.  Larger boats are accommodated bow or stern to with laid lines tailed to the dock.  There are probably 6 or 7 side tie slips and we were moved to one of these (to get further away from the bridge/surge) after a couple of months here.  The largest boat here is around 55'.
 
-
Dockage rate includes electricity and water.  We got a sizeable discount for making a four month minimum commitment.
 
-
 
-
'''WIFI'''
 
-
is provided by RCMB for free in the clubhouse and bar area.  There is no password/code.  Simply look for RCMB on your brower.  Free wifi extends to the boats within range of the transmitter (probably 25% of the berths).
 
-
24/7 attended reception desk who will help with mail/faxes etc.
 
-
Marineras are very helpful for docking etc and take care of boat chores and wash your boat and handle boat watch while away etc. for a separately negotiated fee with the individuals.  David was very helpful to us during our absence over Christmas and speaks pretty good English.
 
-
 
-
'''Laundry'''
 
-
No Laundry onsite, although management has approved the installation of a washer and dryer (January 2008 this had not been installed).
 
-
 
'''Nearby'''

Butane (blue tanks).  Can be purchased and empty tanks exchanged at the hardware store ''Ferreteria Bras''.  It is on Passeig de Born de Borbo in Barcelonetta  a block or two from the Carrer de Maquinista intersection  and the Fastnet Pub, near Port Vell marina.

'''Laundry'''.  There is a very good self-service Lavapress laundry across the pedestrian bridge on Carrer Nou de St. Francesc.  It has 6 new washers and 5 new dryers at around €3.5 per load.  If you use their card payment system you save €.50 per load.
 
'''Groceries'''.  For fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, preserved meats and cheese as well as frozen products the Barcelonetta fresh market is superb.  It is a new purpose-built market and is clean, and closer as well as cheaper than the famous Boqueria market on La Rambla which tends to fill with tourists.  It is closed Sundays and every afternoon at about 3pm.  Built into one end of the Barcelonetta market is a good grocery store (Appearances are deceptive, most of the groceries are out of sight - take the elevators on the right).  The grocery store is open much later than the market.  Around the market are several specialist shops selling Bread, Eggs, Preserves etc.

'''''Cycling tips'''''
 
-
Car drivers are generally polite to cyclists and are aware of bicycles riding on the street.  There seems to be little or no aggresive driving and no road rage.
 
-
Cycle trails.  There are cycle trails throughout Barcelona.  The only area where they are absent is in the very busy La Rambla area.  There is a nice trail that leads along the beach from Barcelonetta heading East and many of the main thoroughfares in Barcelona have dedicated bike paths.  In addition the authorities seem to have no problem with people walking on the bike paths; bikes  riding on the pedestrian paths; bikes ignoring all traffic signs, or bikes using pedestrian crossings.  It can get a little out of control and you should always be on the lookout for pedestrians, cars and bicycles whether you are on foot or on two wheels or four and whether you are on the road, a cycle path or the sidewalk! 
 
-
Security.  All bikes should be locked with at least two chains or solid U bolts and not the cheap ones either.  The best are solid steel and bought in another country so the keying is unfamiliar to the all-pervasive ladrones.  Lock the frame to an immovible object then lock the front wheel to the frame or (better) to the same immovible object.  Remove the seat if it is a high-end one and finally do not leave your bicycle locked in a public area at night.  We have seen countless vandalized bikes left chained to posts and abandoned.  We guess this is happening at night.

Marina facilites

Nearby Butane (blue tanks). Can be purchased and empty tanks exchanged at the hardware store Ferreteria Bras. It is on Passeig de Born de Borbo in Barcelonetta a block or two from the Carrer de Maquinista intersection and the Fastnet Pub, near Port Vell marina.

Groceries. For fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, preserved meats and cheese as well as frozen products the Barcelonetta fresh market is superb. It is a new purpose-built market and is clean, and closer as well as cheaper than the famous Boqueria market on La Rambla which tends to fill with tourists. It is closed Sundays and every afternoon at about 3pm. Built into one end of the Barcelonetta market is a good grocery store (Appearances are deceptive, most of the groceries are out of sight - take the elevators on the right). The grocery store is open much later than the market. Around the market are several specialist shops selling Bread, Eggs, Preserves etc.

Restaurants. For breakfast El Quim in the Boqueria. A much cheaper breakfast can be had at the restaurant in the Barcelonetta market (opposite end from the grocery store. For a midpriced dinner try the various Taller Tappas outlets scattered around the city (the best one is at Sta Catarina market), as well as Irati tapas just of La Rambla. For fresh vegetables Fresco, a self-service soup, salad and pizza kind of place with an all you can eat buffet currently priced at €8 weekdays €10 weekends. Their fresh vegetables are excellent (but some restaurants in the chain are better than others).

Chandlery. There is a Marine Chandlery nearby, directions are posted on the RCMB noticeboard. There are also several chandleries close to the land entrance to Port Vell.

Bicycles Racks are provided for bicycles and guests are not allowed to use bicycles on the piers.

Repairs

Haul-out?, yard?, etc.

Security

RCMB is secured with electric gates/doors and 24/7 attended reception/nightwatchman governing access. As a 'guest' and not a member you will not be issued with an access card and will have to request admission each time you return. The reception staff are friendly and helpful but only one speaks any English and a little Spanish goes a long way here. Although security appears tight, we interrupted an attempted burglary on board when we were in a slip just inside the marina fence and very close to the public pedestrian bridge. Later one of our bicycles was stolen while locked in the bike racks. The whole seafront area of Barcelona (as well as many other areas of Barcelona!) is prime "ladrone" territory and petty theft seems endemic. We think the thief climbed over the fence and targeted our boat which was "low hanging fruit".

Marina location

RCMB is ideally located for access to the tourist areas of La Rambla, Barrio Gottic and El Born, and you will probably pay less here than at Port Vell, however you will have to fight your way across the pedestrian bridge to get to town, which is generally crowded with tourists. RCMB is on the Moll d'Espanya opposite the Mar Magnum shopping center just across from the famous La Rambla pedestrian street. Bear in mind that this is a crowded, tourist-oriented area of town and while the views and location are spectacular, slips on the west side, close to the opening bridge in particular are subject to crowd noise as well as the beeping of the pedestrian bridge siren when it opens each half hour during the day. Slips nearer the opening footbridge are also subject to considerable swell from time to time from tugs passing outside the marina.
