"This seaside neighborhood was the site of the Olympic Village in the 1992 summer games, and that boom in investment translates nowadays to an extremely desirable neighborhood, especially for millennial families. It has a stellar location, just far enough from the busy city center to have some peace and quiet — while still having a lifeblood. Also, being next to the beach never hurts. Wander down the Rambla del Poblenou and stop for a beer at 100 Montaditos. Then, satisfy your sweet tooth at Chocolat-Box, which sells both handmade chocolates and chocolate-infused olive oil. Don’t be totally fooled by the chill vibes though, because this neighborhood is home to one of the loudest clubs in town: Razzmatazz. The former warehouse building now has five different rooms where you can find anything from electronica to hip-hop to deep house music." - MATADOR_NETWORK
