Poblenou, Barcelona

The Rambla de Poble Nou - a long, tree-lined avenue bursting with local life, history and countless cute bars and cafés – forms the backbone to this area. But shhh, it’s our secret!

Wondering what Barcelona’s Rambla was like before all the tourists arrived? Come to Poble Nou’s equivalent and you’ll find the charming answer. You can still metro to the centre. But the old, village vibe around here is a real pleasure. Time for a refreshing dip in the Med? The Mar Bella Beach is the city’s coolest.
