The new Poble Sec facilities include a nine-story building capable of accommodating over 100 residents which opened in September 2007. It is situated in the well-known Avenida del Paralelo, within a stone’s throw of the Barcelona marina, Las Ramblas and Montjuïc, in one word, very close to the city’s nerve center for both tourism and everyday activities.

Paralelo and Poble Sec are both neighborhoods of the Montjuïc district. Paralelo is an avenue that runs from Plaza de España (square) and comes out onto the marina opposite the World Trade Center building. The so-called Poble Sec is a popular urban neighborhood that starts approximately half-way down Avenida del Paralelo.

The neighborhood has good urban amenities of all kinds and with a wide range of leisure and entertainment activities. Popular bars, restaurants, theaters and night clubs typical of Barcelona’s city life. Although Paralelo is a very busy avenue during the day, it is a quiet area for its residents. Situated just 15 minutes’ walk from the famous Ramblas, it is a good option anyone looking for a centrally located place to stay.
