The Marbella 1 apartment is located in the area of Poble Nou / Diagonal Mar, which is a residential and charming area of the city just 5 minutes from the sea, near Vila Olimpica and Mar Bella, one of the Barcelona’s best beaches.

The apartment is close to the pedestrian area of Rambla de Poble Nou which is a has a local friendly atmosphere with many trees and café bars.

Las Ramblas and the city centre is 10 minutes away by metro (Poble Nou, Line 4 is near the apartment) or you can take a relaxing stroll down the sea front past Vila Olimpica until Barceloneta beach or the old port (Port Vell). It is an area where you’ll experience a local and catalan atmosphere next to the city and the beach.

One of Barcelona’s best restaurants, Els Pescadors (Prim Square, 1), which serves fish is a must if you’d like to indulge in some good sea food.

The Poble Nou area is one of the neighbourhoods which has changed most in the last years in Barcelona. It has had an interesting evolution which in less than a century has passed from being an industrial area to be competely modern with the Forum (which housed an exhibition about global warming and ethical living) and Vila Olimpica (an area built for the 1992 Olympic Games).
