El Born

"It's all too easy to spend your time in crowds of other travellers wandering down the Ramblas, lining up to get into the splendid Picasso or Miró museums, following the trail of the Barrio Gotic - yesterday's trendy quarter, today a sticky tourist trap. So wander off the well-trodden path to discover el Born before it gets unmasked for everyone in guide books"

(John Brunton - The Observer)

Also known as La Ribera (the waterfront), this former fisherman's quarter is now home to some of the city's most exciting bars, restaurants and designer shops. Just moments from the Old Port and a fifteen minute stroll to the lively cafes and beaches of Barceloneta, it is no wonder this area has become so popular among discerning tourists and trendy locals. You are also just a 15 minute walk to Las Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya.
