THIRD DAY: THE MOST RECENT BARCELONA: FÓRUM AND POBLENOU
After walking through the oldest part of Barcelona, what about going to the most contemporary one?
Barcelona hosted the Universal Forum of Cultures, an event without precedent that contributed to the dialogue around cultural diversity, sustainable development and conditons for peace. Today, the central stage of the great meeting constitutes a recovered area beside the sea, known as Forum. There, we find the following spaces: the Esplanade, where fairs, music festivals and large format events are held; the Forum building, with a triangular floor and undeniable icon of the contemporary architecture of Barcelona; the CCIB- International Convention Center of Barcelona, one of the most modern in Europe with a total capacity of 15.000 people; the Auditorium park, a great open-air area in front of the sea; the impressive photovoltaic panel, leaning suspended over a woods of very particular columns, a real symbol of Barcelona’s commitment with sustainability and environment preservation; and the Forum Harbor and swimming area, where we can enjoy the most genuine and Mediterranean character of the city.
And now that you are in this area, what about visiting Poblenou?
If you feel like having calm, a simple walk by the Glòries area passing by the Agbar Tower, walking up to Rambla de Poblenou might be a good idea. In your way, you will run into Mediapro and its giant screen. The rambla is a very peculiar area, as it gathers the traditional, lifelong tapas bars and stores with modern businesses that are making their own space in the neighborhood. And if you walk up to the end, you’ll find Bogatell beach, which is usually very quiet, with not too many tourists and the Mediterranean Sea in calm.
You may also take part in some cultural activities, as there are guided tours organized. The Museum Can Framis of the Vila Casas Private Fooundation or Poblenou cementery are usually included in them. A good district to visit, to live and to work; actually, that’s why it is called 22@.
PS: Save some time for shopping, you know! We also have some tips for that in our blog.
