El Carmel, Residential neighborhood in Horta-Guinardó, Spain
El Carmel extends across 94 hectares of hillside terrain, featuring a mix of colorful houses and residential blocks that form a dense urban layout.
During the 1960s and 1970s, El Carmel experienced rapid growth when workers moved to Barcelona under the government employment initiatives of the Franco period.
The neighborhood maintains a strong sense of community through its Barrio Council, which actively involves residents in local decision-making and social initiatives.
The area contains essential services including primary healthcare facilities, libraries, community centers, and local markets serving its 31,377 residents.
The residential streets of El Carmel follow the natural contours of the hillside, creating a network of stepped pathways throughout the neighborhood.
