49/50.- Barcelona, Barceloneta

To finish the Photographic Tour of Barcelona, I chose a picture of the 'Barceloneta' district. This neighborhood sits in front of the beach, close to the harbor and the Rambla. This used to be a fishermen district, but after many decades of abandon, it became a dangerous place. But things have changed lately. Barceloneta is becoming an expensive place to live. Since many foreigners want a flat next to the beach, real estate prices have sky rocketed here.

In the avenue that faces the port, Av. Joan de Borbo, are some of the best sea food restaurants in Barcelona. If you want to have a 'paella' or a 'fideua', this is the place to go.

On the following page you will see a landscape photo taken from one of the best lookouts in Barcelona: the Tibidabo Hill.
