El Poblenou, Industrial district in Sant Martí, Spain

El Poblenou combines restored industrial buildings, modern offices, art galleries, and residential areas connected by wide tree-lined streets leading to Bogatell Beach.

During the 19th century, this district contained the highest concentration of textile factories in Spain, earning the nickname Catalan Manchester for its industrial output.

The neighborhood maintains numerous art spaces within converted factories, including Can Framis Museum, which exhibits 300 contemporary Catalan artworks in an 18th-century building.

The area connects to central Barcelona through multiple metro stations on Lines 1 and 4, plus the T4 tram line running from Olympic Village to Forum.

Rambla del Poblenou extends from Gran Via to the Mediterranean Sea, featuring local restaurants and shops housed in preserved 19th-century industrial architecture.
