Sant MartÍ
ABOUT SANT MARTÍ
The power of nature and public spending cultivate in Sant Martí, a coastal neighborhood with a knack for business and tech-savvy entrepreneurialism. Towering office buildings rise from the same sidewalks as modest, multi-family apartment complexes.
One of the largest districts in Barcelona, Sant Martí starts in the Poblenou neighborhood and extends to the sea. The district is a combination of historic and modern living, notorious for old factories and warehouses converted into chic art studios, loft flats and green zones.
