About Barcelona Beaches - Poblenou from Port Olímpic to Forum

Poblenou, besos and Forum is the main residents Beach area in Barcelona. Around the village within the city of Barcelona called Poblenou was and industrial district of factories for manufacturing.

This area of Barcelona underwent a radical redevelopment for the Barcelona 1992 Summer Olympics to provide an athlete's village. Old factories and warehouses have been redeveloped into new office buildings, lofts and art galleries.

The beaches from Port Olímpic to are predominantly used by the residents of Barcelona and in my opinion are better than the beaches in Barceloneta.

Running along the top of the beach is a broad boulevard called Passeig Marítim de Bogatell that has some nice seafood restaurants as well as limited pay parking in the blue zone bays (you have to add money to the metre every two hours and leave the ticket in the windscreen of your car).
