For many there is no discussion, to find a place to live the best thing is living in Poblenou. Let’s see if they has the “truth” on their side or if the matter is more controversial.

We will stop for a drink, we will walk through the most beautiful places, secret places, shops of all life and the most interesting… all in our series of Living in…

Living in Poblenou

On our monthly outing today we stop at the Poblenou neighbourhood, a neighborhood with a lot of history and a great future.

Perhaps the reason to start here is because it is the place from which we operate, with our headquarters in Immobarceló. Poblenou is a spectacular place that we can choose without any problem to live or to start a new project. It is loaded with incredible opportunities.

The Poblenou real estate market

Poblenou is currently a nest of office buildings, startups and the place that large technology company headquarters have chosen to locate themselves, but not everything is company and business.

Mixed with all this, and as a result of the efforts of the city council through the 22@ district program, the area also has some of the most attractive homes in the city.

In the real estate market of Poblenou we have from very nice apartments to lofts that take your breath away, but what am I going to tell you, right, we are Immobarceló and nobody knows better than us how the real estate market is in the area ;D

In addition to that, in Poblenou, the most varied venues are growing: signature restaurants, traditional shops, cultural spaces, modern municipal equipment, superillas…

Without a doubt, what you will not find in Poblenou is boredom and monotony.

“I love the smell of a new book!”

What to visit?

As we walk through the neighborhood we realize that on the right hand side we see a place that catches our attention, on the window there is a vintage sign with the name Juanita in very large letters, but in the window what we see are books, it looks like a bookstore – I love the smell of books! new and old too ;D – so I come closer because I’m curious.

Indeed it is a bookstore – Nollegiu – so I go into the store and after having a good time I talk to a man and he recommends the book “Poblenou Desaparegut“.

I don’t think about it, I buy it and I go to the exit, but before leaving I ask him:

Excuse me, could you point me to a good place to eat around here while I look through this book?
Of course! If what you are looking for is a bit of tranquility and good service, go to Bitácora Poblenou

You can judge for yourself, you will not regret it.

“I give myself pleasures alive!”

Where can I stop to eat something on living in Poblenou?

So I don’t think about it, I have always been a very open person to new experiences and to follow the recommendations of local people.

I walk, find it, go in and sit down and ask the waiter to serve me a good beer, some patatas bravas and some olives. I give the tastes to me in life.

Meanwhile I start to leaf through the book.

It’s a book about the history of Poblenou, especially made up of images that cover a century of walking through the neighborhood, I am immediately fascinated with all those black and white images and mentally I compare them with the neighborhood through which I have been walking during this morning of the month of June.

There is no doubt, the neighborhood has always been one of the most active places, in every way, in the city of Barcelona.

In recent years, the Poblenou neighborhood has been one of the best areas in which to look for a property to live in, whether in the rental or purchase category, if you decide on this area you will not fail.

Where am I going to go next time?

When I finish leafing through the book, I realize that it is a bit late.

I apologize to the waiter and pay him the bill in a good manner, but not before asking him about other places in the area that may interest me.

Without thinking much about it, the waiter smiles a little and tells me:

If you really want to see something interesting what you should do is…

But this is for the next chapter.
