Back in the day, Poblenou was known as the “Catalonian Manchester” for being the centre of Catalan and Iberian industry. After the 1992 Olympics, the city decided to implement the 22@ district plan. The project basically meant to renew the area, which had been left pretty abandoned, in to a central business district. Nowadays, that old cluster of factories and working class residences has evolved in to the city’s tech and innovation district. Artists, creatives and young professionals from around the world have converted the former factories and warehouses into unique lofts, galleries, shops and co-working spaces.
Deudits opened its doors for the first time in 2001, and even though it wasn't the first rock climbing space in Barcelona, it has very quickly become a club of reference. They have managed to rack up over 600 members and in doing so, have had to change location. Now, Deudits has a massive indoor boulder area, a multipurpose gym and a slackline initiation area. We find it a fun way of staying active while getting a glimpse of the tightknit community that quite literally supports one another.
