Sant Martí
La Vila Olímpica del Poblenou
If you live here, you get the sea, the parks and the calm of the one part of the city that was planned to work, and does.
Planned blocks between Ciutadella and the sea, with generous parks and the marina. Popular with international staff and families. UPF Ciutadella is a ten-minute walk.
Built for the 1992 Olympics and still feeling slightly like a masterplan. Wide, green, safe, on the beach, and short on street life.
