Barcelona is also amazing because of it's surroundings in winter I love going to the mountain, it's just one hour and a half drive and in summer to the beach of course.
In addition to its unique architecture, this place is my favorite spot to skate in barcelona. There i can feel the wind and the sound coming from the sea. It's relaxing and refreshing and at the same time i'm putting my energies out while skating.
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.
After being in the market I love going to the beach for a swim in winter there is a magnificient hot/outdoors swimingpool next to the beach were you can swim even if it's rainy!!!
