The Passeig del Born Barcelona

El Born - Barcelona

El Born is a favorite area for lovers of Barcelona nightlife. Nowadays the Born is even more packed with bars, though it's nice that places like the Miramelindo are still there, largely unchanged. Is was also a site of the executions and witch burning in medieval times.

Do not miss it and walk along its narrow streets full of very fashionable stores and restaurants.

Within walking distance of the Picasso Museum, El Born still keeps some surprises for those which have the adventurous heart. Eldiset is a wine bar, the adventure which he proposes is the discovery of the Catalan wines.

great local market

Covered market. Very pleasant with the smell of flowers at the entrance. There are tables and chairs in the aisles so you can eat there. Coffee and potato tortillas available.

Best interior shop of Barcelona

I came across the most incredible store i have seen in a long time and I have been living im Barcelona for over 20 years. It’s called Pachulí Interior & Lifestyle and is situated in El Born. It’s a bit hidden which is a shame cause I think everyone should experience this authenticity and unique place. Just go and check it out already!!

Palace Virreina

JeanJean - 22 Sep 2023 - 07:26

free and it's well worth a visit.

A fine venue for free photo exhibitions on La Rambla, in a peaceful setting away from the hustle and bustle of this grand avenue. Whether you're a photography enthusiast or an amateur, it's well worth a visit.

As I only had a day to visit, it was a simple and efficient way. Great air-conditioning on the lower floor of the bus. Well-organised and friendly welcome.

For the Gaudi buildings but not for the shopping... very nice shops like everywhere else in the world, no interest.

impressed by this brilliant creator

As I learned more about Antoni Gaudí's life while visiting his works, I was deeply impressed by his devotion to architecture and his unique artistic vision. He was a passionate man who devoted his life to creating extraordinary buildings.

Don't Miss the Chocolate Museum! - Dejavivir (19 Oct 2009 - 19:15)

If you are in the Born area of Barcelona and love the idea of chocolate you cannot miss this museum! This is a complete indulgence for chocolate lovers like myself. This museum is now in what was a convent and they have transformed it into a one of a kind walk through of the history of chocolate! Dont forget to go into the Museum's cafe for a thick warm cup of chocolate! Here is a very good article I found about the museum with alot more information: http://www.bornliving.com/out-and-about/culture/chocolate-museum/
