La Barceloneta is the waterfront neighbourhood of the Ciutat Vella district. Built in the 18th century for fishermen and people related to its port activity, it is bounded by the sea, Port Vell, Port Olímpic and Ciutadella. Until the 60’s, it was home to Somorrostro, the popular gipsy neighbourhood on the beach. Packed with restaurants and full of life, especially in summer –when beaches get busy at day and night-, the neighbourhood still keeps its essence.
