La Barceloneta was home to fishermen until the 18th century and is now a major tourist attraction. Built in 1753 on a small triangular appendage that penetrates the sea, its attractions include its beaches, narrow streets and seafront full of bars and restaurants.
Until the middle of the 18th century, la Barceloneta was practically uninhabited.The first houses, the homes of fishermen and places of entertainment for local residents, were built in 1754.
The first bullfighting ring in la Barcelona – now demolished – was built there, in addition to the first spas such as the Orientals and the first sports centres such as Club Natació Barcelona.And while the Catalan capital has a strong industrial past, it was and is the door to the Mediterranean.
