This is a central area of the city core. Close to everything to walk, close to train station, to metro close to walk to beach. Lots to see and do grom here More

There are things to do in this neighborhood, but even if there is nothing that tickles your fancy, go anyway, because it's fascinating walking in this historic part of town. Barcelona is one of the great walking cities in the world and this is one of the best places to walk. More

Stylish, young with superb shopping. Nice little restaurants and of course the Picasso M. Be careful at night! More
