This area has wooden walkways that are as close as possible to the water (however, in no case will it touch it as currents could break the module), a fitted wardrobe, a shower nearby with a chair and a lifting crane. All this allows anyone in need to get to the water easily with the help of volunteers, who help users, along with their companions, move from wheelchair to amphibious chair and use, if necessary, a lifting crane. In this way, the volunteers provide support as they approach, enter and exit the water, and also accompany the users of the service while bathing. The assisted bathing service, which starts on June 1, is held on weekends and holidays in June and the second fortnight of September, while in July, August and the first fortnight of September is performed daily from 11am to 2pm. These services are operational with the green flag of the state of the sea. On the beach in winter, when you can see quite a few concentrated laughing gulls. The laughing gull is smaller than the most common large-breasted gull and with a very powerful beak. In winter, we can see laughing gulls on the beach where they will also be able to take advantage of human food or even approach people who throw crumbs of bread or anything else edible. Just as the silver-headed gull can be aggressive, the laughing gull is much more shy and will fly away quickly when he has grabbed the food that people throw at him.

Much of the area now occupied by the Barceloneta district was the sea until only 5 centuries ago. The island of Maians was a small islet formed by a sandbank located today at the Station de France. The Barcelona coast was very different. Much of what is now Ciutat Vella and Sant Martí had been wetlands. The construction of the first port wharf in 1447 created an obstacle for the currents that flow from north to south (NASA Video), which caused the sedimentation of sands from the streams and the Besòs river, and the union of the island on the coast formed a peninsula. It can be seen on the map Cathaloniae Principatus novissima et accurata descriptio. Jacobus Baptista Vrints. 1603. CAT ANC.
