Teresa from The Spanish Travel Boutique asked me to take the Gauch family on two city tours. One of them was to include the Maritime Museum. This isn't a usual request for guided tours, so for me it was a pleasure to prepare the visit and show them around.
They were really impressed by the museum:
First of all by the building itself, as it is located in the medieval Royal Shipyards were Catalan boats and ships were built during centuries.
Then, of course for the collection including gorgeous models of all kind of boats, old navigation instruments and maps, and the star of the museum: a wonderful real-size replica of the Royal Galley of John of Austria that battled in Lepanto in 1571.
A very educational and fun tour for the whole family!
