Location
If there is a trendy place for both tourists and locals, it is the dynamic neighborhood of El Born with its particular market, now converted into a museum, after getting some fantastic Roman ruins during its remodeling. It is home to artists, craftsmen and bohemians, with an infinite number of curious and unique stores, which we probably wouldn’t have enough time to get to know all of them in years. Even more famous are its restaurants with so much variety to discover a new one every day. The Santa Caterina market with its ceiling inspired by the dragon skin of Sant Jordi is in itself a work of art to be admired. The Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, the Palau de la Música, and the green lung of La Ciutadella are some of the important landmarks of this neighborhood. It is a neighborhood to live in and to know.
Its buildings continue the irregular pattern of the Gothic Quarter, and its streets, although at times more uncluttered, are also narrow. In the basement of the buildings you can find bars of author, art galleries, workshops of craftsmen and stop counting.
Sant Pere , Santa Catarina and the Born are interesting neighborhoods for you if you like the bohemian lifestyle, living with multiple artisans, the tapas and good food, living in a neighborhood that surprises you with new stores and corners to discover every time, and an excellent location to invest in a pied-à-terre.
