A Local's Guide

Neighborhoods
in Barcelona

Where to actually stay, and the real vibe of each corner of the city — the parts a local picks up on that don't show up in a guidebook.

Gràcia

Barceloneta beach and promenade, Barcelona

Barceloneta

Barceloneta packs real fishing-quarter local life alongside one of the city's most-visited beaches. Ten minutes from the Gothic Quarter, it's as much about the promenade and the neighborhood behind it as it is about the sand.
