Sant Martí
El Poblenou
If you live here, you cycle past converted factories to the beach at the end of your own Rambla.
Converted factories, design studios and coworking spaces between Glòries and the sea, with the Rambla del Poblenou running down to the beach. Home to UPF Poblenou and UOC. Heavily international.
Old textile Barcelona rebuilt as the 22@ tech district. Newer flats, the beach at the end of the Rambla, and room prices among the highest we cover.

ModelledDistances are from the middle of El Poblenou rather than from a specific flat, and venues come from OpenStreetMap, which under-maps small independents, so read a count as a floor rather than a total. Data © OpenStreetMap contributors.
