Although most of the old Poblenou in Barcelona has been levelled to make way for new residential
apartment blocks and offices, there are still some gems from the past around,
which have been preserved for posterity.

which include a Panoramic Restaurant , and roofrop pool
Carrer de Marià Aguiló runs parallel with the Rambla de Poblenou and is
one of the most charming old shopping streets in Poblenou in Barcelona.
When it comes to walking, jogging and bicycling Poblenou residents have great choices. One is
the palm tree lined Avenida Diagonal, which crosses the Rambla de Poblenou.
The
Torre Agbar is close to the Poblenou area and closest shopping mall is
Glories shopping centre on Diagonal.

Plaça Prim in Poblenou, home to one of the best fish restaurants in Barcelona,
Els Pescadors. This square used to be a meeting place in the old part of Poblenou. It was where the fishermen, farmers and workers from the factories lived.
A living room for the homeless appears as old buildings make way for new ones.

The beach of Mar Bella is the reason why many new residents of Barcelona choose to
live in Poblenou. Stroll down down the Rambla de Poblenou and then enjoy a coffee
on the beach at one of the beach cafés called
Chiringuitos
Summer or winter the beach is beautiful place to visit..
or to have a dip..
or a run..
or to walk your dog..
