Barcelona comes alive with more intensity in summer, and the Poblenou neighborhood is one of its most authentic corners to experience the city with calm, creativity, and the sea. From Latroupe Poblenou, you’re just steps away from beaches, street art, local food, and plans that combine relaxation with culture. Here’s our selection to help you make the most of summer in the neighborhood with the most soul in Barcelona.
Morning at the beach in Bogatell or Mar Bella
Less than 15 minutes walking from Latroupe, you have access to two of the most popular and pleasant beaches:
Bogatell: quieter, ideal for swimming and sunbathing.
Mar Bella: youthful, inclusive vibe, with beach bars and LGTBIQ+ area.
Bring a towel, some fresh fruit, and start the day as it deserves.
2. Street art route through the 22@ district
Poblenou is an open-air museum. Murals, graffiti, and giant structures await on every corner of the tech district. Key spots include:
-
Carrer de Pere IV
-
Parc Central del Poblenou
-
Outer walls of NauART or Poblenou Urban District
You can explore it on your own or join a guided tour.
3. Eat well (and beautifully) in hidden patios
Poblenou is full of charming restaurants and cafés. Some of our summer favorites:
Espai Joliu: coffee with plants, art, and a brutalist aesthetic.
Can Dendê: Brazilian brunch with a terrace.
Els Pescadors: for a traditional dinner in a beautiful square.
Many have inner courtyards or shaded terraces: perfect to escape the heat.
4. Sunset stroll through Parc del Centre del Poblenou
Designed by Jean Nouvel, this modern park mixes native vegetation, creative architecture, and quiet corners to sit and read, have a picnic, or chat.
It’s ideal for the last hours of the day, when the sun sets and the city breathes.
5. Open-air cinema or concerts on the beach
During the summer months, Barcelona offers open-air film series in various squares and beaches. Mar Bella and Bogatell often have screenings, as well as free concerts in local venues.
Check platforms like Barcelona Cultura or Poblenou Urban District to see what’s on during your week.
6. Bike rental and ride to El Born
In summer, getting around by bike is the best. From Latroupe you can rent one and ride along the seafront to the Born neighborhood, passing by:
Parc de la Ciutadella
Design Museum (Museu del Disseny)
El Born Market
A fresh, panoramic plan that combines different neighborhoods and styles.
