Barcelona’s Soho: hip, trendy and brimming with great places to eat, drink and shop.

El Born is the perfect neighbourhood if you want to discover the trendy and laid-back side of Barcelona. The neighbourhood dates back to the 14th century and is situated between El Gòtic and the city park Parc de la Ciutadella, not far from the beach. It’s the ideal place for atmospheric restaurants, small-scale boutiques and cosy terraces. In the labyrinth of medieval streets, you’ll find the popular Museu Picasso and the church Santa María del Mar. Catalan nationalism comes to life in the old market hall, which has been reopened as El Born Centre de Cultura i Memòria. These days, locals buy their fresh produce beneath the undulating roof of the refurbished Mercat de Santa Caterina.
