Despite its humble beginnings as a settlement built for medieval fairs and celebrations, el Born has grown into one of the most modern areas of Barcelona.
El Born has a lot to offer each day and night. Their cafes and stores provide a great place to spend the day.

El Born also offers well reviewed tapa bars. When the sun goes down, these tapa bars begin to fill with life.

However, el Born neighborhood also offers different touches of culture. On the Calle Montcada, an old medieval street, you are able to find the Picasso Museum and the Textile Museum that is located next to a small coffee bar. The Textile Museum is found here because in the beginning, el Born hosted the cities textile mills.
 
Without a doubt though, the prize of this area is the church of Santa Maria del Mar. This church is a precious example of gothic architecture in the city.

In addition, the Born is ideally located between Via Laietana and Barceloneta and also has a good bus service with stops from the Metro stops Barceloneta and Jaume 1 in the same line. Also, walking distance to Las Ramblas and the city center is just ten minutes. For those who love the beach, el Born is about 10 minutes walking.

This is a luxury for those who want to combine the sun and sea with cultural tourism.
