The engine behind the new Barcelona is found in Sant Martí, with tech companies, urban beaches and green areas.
Sunbathing at the Mar Bella Beach, walks through the Maresme Park, expositions in the Natural History Museum of Barcelona, innovation and companies in the 22@ District… the Sant Martí district possesses a full range of services and facilities, as well as places of interest for leisure and business travellers.
From the Olympic Port to Sant Adrià of the Besós, Sant Martí has undergone a deep change from an industrial past to the urban challenge of assimilating the Olympic Village of Poblenou and the Fòrum de les Cultures, that completely changed the appearance of a neighbourhood with urban beaches such as Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella and Llevant.
Day-to-day life in Sant Martí still offers a pleasant mixture of everyday businesses that coexist with new gastronomic areas, shops and urban facilities that have without a doubt given a fresh look to the neighbourhood. The Rambla de Poblenou is considered the backbone of social life and its route is without a doubt a pleasure between interesting housing and restaurants with Mediterranean and international cuisine.
Sant Martí is synonymous with fun as is shown by the festivals Primavera Sound or Cruïlla and the proximity to nightclub Razzmatazz; to numerous green spaces that splash the streets such as the Manuel Sacristan, Carles Barral, Jaime Gil of Biedma, Gandhi, Josep Trueta gardens, Maresme Park, Poblenou Park…; to street culture in the Mar Bella Skate Park and shopping at the Palo Alto Market, an old factory in which you can enjoy a popular street market; and the urban, social and economic laboratory taking place in the 22@ technology district, the Silicon Valley of Barcelona.
The future of the new Barcelona is being constructed in Sant Martí.
