Poblenou in the district Sant Marti, it means "new village" in Catalan. This area of Barcelona was mostly factories, today it is a modern residential area which is home to the @22 Barcelona hi-tech business district. Is one of the most overlooked areas in they city, and in my opinion has many great things to offer.. run-down in parts, but very open with tons of light and close to the beach, Poblenou is perfect for anyone who wants to live a slightly more quite lifestyle but also have complete and easy access to the craziness of the city centre.

Eat embutidos while drinking Champagne. It is a fun place, always very crowded!

Can Framis was just another Poblenou factory at the end of the 18th century. In 2009 it was converted into a museum of contemporary painting, thanks to the Fundació Vila Casas

City-beach with very different atmospheres, depending on the season. In the summer its crowded and full of people sun-bathing, partying, rollerblading, swimming etc. But in the winter it can be a wonderful quiet place.

This place is amazing. Being from denmark, seeing graves like this blew my mind. Some of them even have life-size statues of the dead.
