Sants-Montjuïc
Hostafrancs
If you live here, you live between a market and a mountain, and let the Plaça d'Espanya interchange handle the rest.
A compact grid around the Hostafrancs market, with a large Pakistani and Chinese community and the trade-fair halls at its edge. Unglamorous, functional, well connected.
Sants's smaller neighbour, cheaper again, with the Plaça d'Espanya interchange at one end and Montjuïc above it.
