Barceloneta is the smallest, yet one of the most popular of all the Barcelona neighborhoods.Going from El Born towards the harbor and the beaches you come to Barceloneta. In the 18th century it was traditionally the area where Barcelona’s fisherman lived .That is why today Barcloneta is famous for its fish restaurants.If you walkk around the narrow streets of the neighborhood you will still find some old village feel in that place.There are some old women shouting to one another across balconies and old men sitting on the street in front of their houses.However,today Barceloneta is very different.It is a cosmopolitan,tourist orientated neighborhood.There are a lot of bars and cages booming out music day and night.

The main attraction of Barceloneta is the beach,which is full of tourists and locals all summer long.It is probably the most well-known and popular beach in Barcelona.There are a lot of activities available right n the beach,so it is guaranteed that you won´t get bored.There are plenty of things to do on the beach beside swimming.For the water sports enthusiasts there are a few shops close where you can rent out surfing equipment or hire a bike.In the beach you can also enjoy a refreshing drink from one of the many beach bars. Follow the coast along and you’ll reach the famous nightclubs of Opium Mar, Catwalk, Shoko and Sotovento, together with the famous Ice Bar. This place attracts a lot of tourists, especially a younger crowd. If you want to find somewhere with a lively atmosphere day or night, we recommend it.

Another attractions in Barceloneta are the Aquarium(which is the biggest in Europe) and the IMAX. You can also pass by Passeig Joan de Borbón,the main street of Barceloneta,where you can find nice cafes and ice-cream shops.
Barceloneta is good for everyone,for families, young people and those looking for a beach holiday, without being too far from the city!
