The neighbourhood
El Born also known as “La Ribera” (waterfront) is within easy walking distance of the city centre and has both the feel and rhythm of a vibrant village coupled with the slower-paced, tranquil air of a bygone era.
The lifestyle
The charming cobbled streets and architectural design hint of its historical past dating back to the 13th century, the same time period the church Santa Maria del Mar was built.

The Parc de la Cuitadella is a great place to have a stroll, walk the dog or go jogging. The nearby sandy beach is within easy walking distance and the neighbourhood’s excellent location attracts both residents and visitors . The well established Spanish community welcomes its international neighbours, giving the Born its friendly feel and warm ambiance.

A very popular and trendy place to live for young professionals, expats, artists, musicans and students. A vibrant neighbourhood that is full of personality and makes any decision to live here, an easy choice.
