Walk to Las Ramblas, with its stylish boutiques and fine dining, in just twenty minutes when you stay at this stylish apartment in Barcelona. It's just a few minutes further to Plaça De Catalunya, or head to the trendy bars of the Gothic Quarter, just over a quarter of an hour on foot. El Molino theatre, often referred to as Barcelona's Moulin Rouge, is a three-minute walk. In the second half of July, the neighbourhood stages the annual Festa Major, hosting barbeques, DJs and various events. Back at this stylish home – it has buckets of character mixed with modern features such as the contemporary staircase. We love that the exposed brick and original wooden beams follow through the entire apartment too. Whip up some tapas in the vibrant red kitchen, then relax with a glass of wine. This place is perfect for unwinding in after a busy day in this stunning city.

About El Poble-Sec
El Poble-Sec is often dubbed the liveliest area in Barcelona, and rightfully so. Although it is still a bit rough around the edges, it has a booming theatre scene and an abundance of tapas restaurants and drinking dens, making a casual stroll through the area a true experience for all the senses. The vibrancy of El Poble-Sec has attracted a number of artists, creative professionals, and foodies to move here, creating a village-like atmosphere of a multicultural community that feels unlike any other in the city.
