El Born is one of the favorite neighborhoods for the locals and has become an essential area to visit in Barcelona. It is common to approach this neighborhood to enjoy the gastronomic offer that offers and to enjoy its atmosphere, but the truth is that this area of the center of Barcelona consists of much more than that. It is a neighborhood with a special charm and its streets are a real labyrinth to get lost in. The icing on the cake is its magnificent Ciutadella park, which has become the lung of Barcelona and one of the best meeting places for groups of street artists.
