Hidden pearl in the middle of Raval with a local feeling to it. Calm and cosy but with a lot of personality.

Centre de Cultura Contemporanea de Barcelona. If you sit on the bench and look at the mirror you'll see the sea!

Asian flavours in platillo format reinterpreted with mediterranean touches. The food is ace and the prices are fair.

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.

Great place for a coffee break, lunch or just enjoying the marvellous patio.
