Unpretentious, hillside and tasty
Poble-sec
A working-class neighbourhood below Montjuïc that has become a relaxed eating-and-drinking destination.
Wedged between Montjuïc hill and the Avinguda del Paral·lel, Poble-sec keeps the unpolished feel of a working neighbourhood while quietly becoming one of the city's best places to eat and drink. The Carrer de Blai is its anchor, a pedestrian run of pintxo bars where small plates cost a couple of euros. Above it, the slopes of Montjuïc lead to gardens, theatres and the old air-raid shelters of the Civil War. The Paral·lel itself was Barcelona's cabaret strip and still carries that theatrical edge.
