Barceloneta is also called little Barcelona and can easily reached by foot within 15 minutes from Las Ramblas. Well known for its sandy beach, Barceloneta also features a boardwalk along which tourists can find many restaurants and nightclubs. Being next to the port of Barcelona, fisherman are still doing their daily business here and if you are lucky you can eat the daily local catch in one of the eateries. The seafood here is well renown and black rice is a local specialty. If you are more of a tapas person, you won't be disappointed as the choices are endless. Having been somewhat of a dark and narrowed street area, local council has made an improved effort to prettify the area since the Olympics in 1992.
Property investors will find that local real estate is somewhat cheaper than in the big city of Barcelona. The proximity to the big city and the port is a great benefit for those who prefer to live closer to the sea while still have access to everything that is needed for a modern lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a small house, an apartment or more, the chances of finding it in Barceloneta are quite real.
