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.
Melon District is the perfect, modern, clean, and practical place to stay for a reasonable price. This student residence is the largest in Barcelona with 500 rooms. It offers a long list of services, including a pool area, 24h reception, free Wi-Fi, cooking lounges and accommodation of the highest quality with a fresh, dynamic design. Plus, it couldn’t be better connected; it’s only a couple of streets away from two different metro lines, loads of bus stops, and the tramline, as well as being within walking-distance from the city center and the beach.
