El Poble Sec
El Poble Sec is a historic neighborhood in Barcelona’s Sants-Montjuïc district, considered one of the city’s first expansions following the demolition of the old walls, even before Cerdà’s urban plan. Its architecture blends traditional buildings with modern constructions, reflecting the city’s urban transformation.
The neighborhood has been home to cultural figures such as singer-songwriter Joan Manuel Serrat, rumba singer Peret, and journalist Julia Otero, reinforcing its historical and cultural identity. Its proximity to the Ronda del Litoral provides convenient car access, while public transport —including Poble Sec and Paral·lel metro stations and several bus lines— ensures connection with the rest of Barcelona. This combination of heritage, accessibility, and urban life makes El Poble Sec an attractive area to live in and explore.
