Ciutat Vella
Sant Pere, Santa Caterina i la Ribera (El Born)
If you live here, you get the old city's beauty with the volume turned down, and a park at the end of the street.
Boutiques, wine bars and the Santa Caterina market, arranged around the Born cultural centre. Quieter than its neighbours because it has fewer late-night venues and more residents who have been there decades.
The liveable end of the old city. Same medieval bones as the Gòtic with a fraction of the chaos, next to the Ciutadella park and a fifteen-minute walk from UPF.
