Sants-Montjuïc
Sants
If you live here, you live in the Barcelona that speaks Catalan and organises itself, with the country's main station at the end of the street.
An old industrial town absorbed by the city, with a co-operative tradition that still shows in the number of neighbourhood associations. Carrer de Sants is a two-kilometre shopping street. Very little tourism.
Working-class, Catalan-speaking, tightly organised, and attached to the country's main rail station. The best-connected affordable neighbourhood in Barcelona.
