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.
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a skater or bmx rider, we really cannot think of a better place to hang out than this skate park right next to the beach. This is one of the many meeting spots for skaters in the city and is especially popular for beginners. The disposition of the park makes it a circuit that gives you loads of freedom, space and angles to work on your tricks. Although, if you just fancy a stroll down the beach and come across it, the curved lines, concrete structure, and green surroundings make for amazing photo-ops.
