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.
Everyone knows that one of the best things about Barcelona is the fact that you’re near the beach and have relatively good weather all year round. That’s why on any given day you can expect to see people there. From picnics, to running, to surfing, to yoga, the beach offers you complete freedom to do whatever you fancy. Plus, we’re sure you will agree that with the views and fresh air, a work-out here beats going to the gym any day.
