Barceloneta Beach

Sandy beach, Promenade

Just a few metres from the city centre, you’ll come across a neighbourhood called Barceloneta, which used to be a poor fishing village. However, thanks to the city’s regeneration programme ahead of the 1992 Olympics, the situation changed and the city built beautiful beaches, a modern harbour and streets lined with restaurants, cafés and clubs.
