La Marina · Old Market and Harbour

La Marina returns the walk to sea level and to people who worked outside the walls. Sailors, families and shipyard workers lived between harbour and Dalt Vila; this was never simply scenery for travellers. The Mercat Vell and Sant Elm church recall trade, food supply and the organisation of a maritime community. Explore a few streets before sitting at a terrace, noticing narrow façades, passages towards the water and the wall above. Compare this area with the upper town's squares: they reveal different ways of inhabiting one city. Commercial activity varies by season and time of day, so an operating market or particular scene should not be promised as a permanent part of the route.
