About Diagonal Mar

Barcelona is famous for its sandy beaches whose marine smells and sounds are considered a true luxury in an urban area. The beaches of Diagonal Mar attract many cruise-ships whose guests sip cocktails on the long boardwalk, dotted with clubs and restaurants. But this area is more than its beachfront – a discerning eye will see beyond its biggest attraction and discover a historically rich and soulful neighborhood that feels much less touristy and boasts some of the most popular local hangouts right behind it.
