Rambla of Poblenou

I’m today in the Rambla of Poblenou, the day is sunny, the Rambla looks beautiful, there are different kinds of trees of colours white, green and brown, others without leaves. They adorn streets.

There is a variety of restaurants some with history because of they service other people since time ago. Others are new with a variety of food, ¡Umm! I got hungry jajaja.

I continue with the route, I tell you that I also see very pretty buildings, well reformed. I see that in much of the floors the people show his catalan identity, I see it interesting.

I didn’t say the Rambla is divided by roundabouts. There are chairs, flowers where wecan sit down, pass a while pleasant, many people transit here, there is a supermarket. I’m getting closer to the end where I wanted to reach the connection with the Bogatell beach. It is very pretty, the blue color of water accompanied by the sound of waves. It is beautiful, I see how the sunset matches with the beauty of this place that invites you to come to the Rambla of Poblenou. You will like it so much from the beginning until the end.

I was born and I live in the Clot neighborhood, but all my life has been associated with the Poblenou

During my childhood, my mother worked in the afternoon in a small factory making clothes, located near Taulat st We lived in Gran Via, in the corner with Rambla del Poblenou, and, in the evening, my sister, my father and I used to walk to the factory to wait for my mother at the exit At that time from my house to Pere IV there were only a few houses and some factories The rest were wastelands To go back we would go on the bus “La Catalana” that linked the two neighborhoods

My first job was in Poblenou as an apprentice in a fashion boutique in the neighborhood called “La Juanita”

The Poblenou, thanks to the Olympic Games of 1992, experienced one of the biggest transformations of Barcelona Its beaches and that transformation was only the beginning It’s in constant transformation to become the most modern place in Barcelona. So many changes does not make it lose its essence thanks to its neighbors

The district where I live and where I have lived all my life is the district of Poblenou (in Catalan) or Pueblo Nuevo (in Spanish), in Barcelona

In its beginning, Poblenou was a very industrial area and it had one of the main factories of all Spain It was named ‘the Catalan Manchester’ in its time because of that

Later on, all its industry was moved out of Barcelona Now there are only some traces of the legacy of its industrial past

Poblenou is located just near the sea and since the Olympic Games of Barcelona in 1992 it has upgraded and revalued a lot.

Since the end of 1990 flats in Poblenou have been very expensive. Most people like Poblenou In the last few years, you can see tourists around There are many restaurants and some hotels in Poblenou and it’s relatively safe. I like Poblenou very much and I think it’s one of the nicest and best districts in Barcelona
