El Poble-sec

The neighborhood extends from Avinguda del Parallel towards the Montjuïc mountain slopes, with narrow streets filled with small restaurants and local shops.

During the 19th century, factories and industrial developments in the area consumed water resources, leading to its current name Poble Sec, meaning Dry Town.

The Avinguda del Parallel section contains multiple theaters, including El Molino, Apolo, and Teatre Lliure, which present performances for local audiences.

The district connects to central Barcelona through two metro stations, Parallel and Poble Sec, providing direct access to Las Ramblas within 10 minutes.

The neighborhood maintains its working-class character while housing both traditional bodegas and modern restaurants, particularly along the gastronomic Carrer Blai.
